Hello
I installed Ventoy to an USB hard drive.
I have added 2 different OS.
The first one is windows using a vhd file.
The second one is a linux with a persitance file.
When I use windows, I'm able to see the ventoy partition and remove / add any iso file.
When I use linux, this partition is not availabe and I get the message :
error mounting /dev/sda1
How could I get access to this partition using linux ?
Kind regards

/dev/sda1 can NOT be accessed in the linux system. That's because of the internal mechanism of Ventoy.
You can use reserved space to create /dev/sda3 or /dev/sda4 and access them in the linux system.

NO.
But when you say add new iso files, maybe you mean download new iso file from internet.
Then you can firstly boot some Linux ISO that only run in memory (e.g. TinyCore) and download new iso file inside it.
For these distros, /dev/sda1 is accessable.

I've tried Bionic, Corepure, dsl, fossapup, porteus, stax ...
Nothing works to be able to see dev/sda1 ;(
I couldn't boot to tinycore

Hello
Even if you tried to give me some ISO, so far nothing works.
I didn't find any distribution in live cd with a desktop out of the box
Can't boot to tinycore and Alpine is without GUI.
Any other suggestion ?

You can boot some WinPE iso and download and update the linux iso files inside the WinPE.
Many WinPE can use:
Gandalf's-Win10PE
HBCD_PE
...
