[SOLVED] Drive not recognized in legacy mode?
#1
solved 
Hi guys,

I am just testing Ventoy and find myself in this situation, for now I just want to be sure this is something that should be working before wasting too much time in something ventoy is not designed to do.

I installed Ventoy on an external HDD using the Linux script. No problems there.

But when I boot in legacy BIOS mode the drive is not listed as an available boot drive. This is how I always set up the system and have used many USB creator in the past.

BIOS settings are correct regarding legacy mode active, boot order, etc. etc. and I was in Legacy mode both times I installed Ventoy on this HDD.

If I switch to UEFI mode the drive is listed and can boot ISO images from there, but only UEFI compatible ones, and that excludes ISOS such as boot-repair-disk and many other tools I normally use.


My question then is if this situation where my drive is not listed on Legacy mode is to be expected or something is going wrong on my side.

Thank you.
