![]() You can also press F2 to directly browse and boot files on the drive. iso images to the USB, reboot, and the auto-generated menu lists all the images available to boot. The concept of "Ventoy Compatible" is introduced by myself and I hope that it can be widely supported someday. What it does is configure a USB drive to be a multiboot installer. If it contains the process mentioned above. I call such an OS distro or iso file as "Ventoy Compatible" Ventoy gives some ways for the OS distros to chose to mark themselves. ![]() Ventoy will no longer need to do the boring hook.Īnother thing is that how ventoy knows the OS in the iso file is "Ventoy Compatible" ? So things will become very simple if the OS distros integrate this tool and do the compatible processing. Of course the tool will get nothing if they were not booted by ventoy, in that case they can go as originally. In this way, the OS can know that they were booted from a virtual disk created by ventoy and can also know which iso file in which disk is the right image.īased on that, the OS can find the source medium successfully and continue to boot. In fact, ventoy saves the information to runtime memory before booting and provides a tool to get the information. But the hook is really a hard work because there are so many different OS distros and so many special cases. In order to support that ventoy must do some hook before boot. ) to find the source medium.īut with ventoy they will not find such medium because there is no such physical media and they don't know that they were booted from a virual disk. In normal case, the OS will search all the hardware storage media(CDROM/USB/HD. Most of the morden OS's kernels will use their driver to access hardware after boot, so the virtual disk will not be visible to them. In most case it works only in bootloader period. even better, slipstreaming drivers to an install is tedious, put the drivers on a vhd, mount it mid install.įinally I can write lock all of the drives with a button when I’m not sure if a PC is safe.įorgot to add, VHDs/RMDs can be any size and you can(/should) keep the root “Hard Drive” disconnected so this should easily cover you for this 32gb limitation.From the document you can see that ventoy will create a virtual disk from the iso file and boot it.īut the virtual disk is only on BIOS(Legacy or UEFI) level. This is trivial and stupid fast with the iodd, you make a thumb drive vhd, mount it and use Rufus to write the ISO to the drive at USB3 SSD write speeds (I average ~200MB/s writes) and it boots stupid fast too.Įver need to quickly load another CD or VHD? No problem you get a 3 slots, ever need a place to quickly stash data? Mount up a spare. Easy2Boot Make a versatile, multiboot Legacy\UEFI USB drive for free (includes Ventoy) ADVERT: An IODD will SECURE BOOT hundreds of different ISOs\VHDs with NO MORE SECURE BOOT COMPATIBILITY ISSUES The IODD Mini and the new ST400 USB 3.0 can load up to four ISO\VHDs as a virtual drives and then boot to one of the new virtual DVDs or HDDs. ![]() Newer EFI-Only PCs (like Microsoft Surface Laptops) don’t like to boot from CDs or Multiboot tools like E2B and Yumi so you basically have to make dedicated usb drives with tools like Rufus for each tool. Pick the Right USB Drive Two factors matter the most for turning a USB drive into a boot drive: performance and storage capacity. Ventoy2Disk.exe: Fix the issue that string 'Status x' is missing for translations (1667) Update Shim/Mokmanager efi file from Fedora 37. Ventoy2Disk.exe: Display Ventoy partition file system in selected disk. First, though, it's important to consider the drive. Ventoy2Disk.exe: Add exFAT/NTFS/FAT32 options in Option->Partition Configuration for Ventoy installation. You can get the 2.5” enclosure sans-drive for $80 it’s $180 for the 512gb SSD Mini Thankfully, you can pack multiple boot images onto one drive with the right software. ![]() I have a 512GB IODD mini and it’s roughly the same size as a iPod mini, it does the following simultaneously (in any combination that can be changed on the fly):ġ ISO presented as a attached optical driveģ concurrently mounted “VHDs” that can be set up to appear as either a USB hard drive (.vhd files) a USB thumb drive (.rmd files) or a Floppy drive (.img files)ġ USB hard drive that is the root structure of all of your ISO/RMD/VHD files ![]()
