vello please make tutorial setting ventoy the image is on internal hhd vhd and when inserting to usb pen and boot from it i can acseess that internal drive its like the usb pen is. a key to boot to image store to hhd
I am not sure, but a disk image file may just work on Ventoy if you simply rename the extension to .vtoy. You will need to add the ventoy linux vtboot.sh code first before attempting to boot it as a .vtoy file.
I just saw the reply for this "1 day ago" so I think it might be for me.. BUT.. I managed to get it all working!! Took me FIVE attempts to get it setup(first one I forgot to setup FIXED HDD.. the other attempts I made a mistake on a config file.. then I realised on the last attempt I could have just taken a SNAPSHOT haha). Anyway, I got my base arch installed. Its a dual legacy/uefi boot with LUKS encryption on it. I usually just boot legacy regardless. I've just tested it out and it works FLAWLESSLY. Now with E2B and this VHD/Ventoy setup I've think I've can make a pretty OP USB rescue/portable disk!! btw Merry Christmas!! * that's interesting about the disk image file. I use ImageUSB(passmark software), and they save it as a *.BIN file. Will be VERY INTERSTING if it works.
Do you know why this stopped working? it fails now. Tried first time and it worked (Xubuntu and Linux Mint) on VirtualBox, so yes I was able to boot directly using Ventoy. Later tried again (new installs) and failed, ok... Tried again, failed. Got rid of VirtualBox and now I'm using VMWARE but it still fails on Xubuntu and Mint. I get the same error: *"more than one disk found"*, despite trying the same install method, same ISO, same Linux version, etc. Also tried the same version you have here (.24) same error. Took my time searching the web for the error and solution but to my surprise there is nothing except a few reports but no solution.
I am guessing that more than one file exists of the exact same name on 2 or more volumes somewhere in the system. Ventoy will search for the path specified on all volumes in system. To solve, use unique name or path or unplug other drives .
First use WinToUSB to make a windows 10 HOME to go USB stick using a VHD (at least 25GB). Boot the WintoUSB drive to Windows several times to make sure it boots OK. Then copy the VHD file to an E2B or Ventoy USB drive. Ventoy requires NTFS ptn1 and a plugin file to be added to \ventoy folder. See Ventoy documentation pages.
@@steve6375 i try that with the wintousb software, but i can not load the vhd image in the programm. INFO= on the vhd image is an xp installation 8 GB OS-Install Capacity, and the whole vhd image ist 10 gb big (no dynamic allocated, is fixed size). is the programm checking in contents of the vhd file ?
okay, it works with windows 7 and 8, server 2008, but not with windows server 2003. that software is cool, never knew that was exists. thanks for your help my friend.
Hey Steve!!! I got TWO questions 1) I was wondering if this could be applied to an Arch linux install that is on an ENCRYPTED LUKS partition???? 2) I've got my Arch install setup PERFECTLY, its on a 16GB drive, and I've been using ImageUSB to make regular copies of it. Is there any program I could use to make an exact image of the thumbdrive to create .VHD or .VDI files for it? It would save a crap ton of time
Just tried it and it works; I booted from a VDI stored on a internal HDD. The only problem is that the VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT=1 isn't working so the whole HDD isn't acessible while using the VDI system. I installed Nobara Project and after boot on it, it reconized my whole hardware, including my RTX 3060 Ti. I played some light games but will try some heavy ones to compare the performance.
You would UEFI boot to agFM which is on partition 2. This has a signed EFI shim, however many Windows systems have run a Microsoft Windows Update KB which has blocked that shim (the DBx database in the BIOS NVRAM has an added key). You can make a .imgPTN image file of your signed payload (e.g. Windows Install) and then switch in that image using SWITCH_E2B.exe or by booting to WinPE on partition 3 and then runnning SWITCH_E2B.exe to switch in the .imgPTN file. Once it is switched in, you can reboot to the new signed image. The other alternative is to use Ventoy but the first boot will need you to use MOK Manager to add in the whitelist key to allow you to secure boot to Ventoy thereafter on that PC. If you are only interested in Secure Boot to Windows payloads, then use WinSetupFromUSB.
@@steve6375 Can you make please a video tutorial about this, I am novice at this, I followed your old videos, and I always boot in classic one, not agFM, I really miss that one. Would be very helpful if you can make a video with a full explanation. Thank you for your work and time for us.
Can someone provide a download link for all of the instructions in this video. Because for me it is simply to fast to follow. Better still can this same procedure be done from a windows pc with ventoy. Because I only use windows and all I want is a proper persistent copy of ventoy that I can use from my 2tb portable ssd with ventoy on it. It's only on rare occasions that I would need to use linux. Cheers, John

Most (all) Linux OS's try to use all the RAM available in a system. 32-bit OS's may be limited to 4GB max though.

Hey, do you know if it auto adapts on boot to the host ram?
how i can make this with a windows operating system on the vhd ?

It should work. Did you follow eBook directions?

the guide is good but the background song 💀

Hi, Steve! How can i boot into E2B without secure boot disabled? On almost all my pc's i need to disable first the secure boot to boot on E2B.

So? How i enable the legacy mode or to boot directly on pc with secure boot enabled?
Will this work if the VM is installed with LUKS encryption?
I haven't tried it. I think it should but I can't be sure.
I tested Zorin with LVM and encryption. It seems to work OK :-)
Can someone provide a download link for all of the instructions in this video.
