Multiboot USB: Create a bootable USB drive with Ventoy 

No problem. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for your encouraging feedback :)

You're welcome. Thanks for your support :)

No problem. Glad you found it helpful. Hello from the UK :)

Ta very much. Glad you liked it :)

Much appreciated, thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.

You're welcome :)

No problem. Its definitely a handy addition to your technical toolkit :)

Good to hear you were able to follow along. Thanks for watching :)

Good to hear you've got it sorted. Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated :)

Good point, and from what I hear windows 11 will not work/install with unsecure boot, so for me ventoy caused a lot of problems and blocked any booting from usb and after some sweat I got rid of this ventoy jock.

Ta very much :) Thanks for your support.

@@bytemypi2918 keep up the good work

Thanks. Glad it helped :)

Ta very much. Thanks for your support.

@@bytemypi2918 just a update.. it worked.. basically the story is I had an old laptop no HDD.. no power... So in the adventure of looking for power cord I ended up ordering two laptops of the same variety cuz it came with too power cords.. but only the laptops came in and only one had a hard drive which both were not supposed to have a hard drive so someone screwed up something and no one got back to me so they're mine now.. The one had Windows XP and it would belong to a server that was part of an emergency response system for a local government in Missouri.... But with that ventoy I finally got around it.. originally I was going to plug the hard drive to a SATA to USB... But they're older so they're not say that so I had to figure another way out while the other tool came in which is the IDE to USB thing.... Your video helped me not only reformat and partition the HDD inside it but also installed a 32-bit OS of Linux on it... I actually just installed the first 32-bit OS of Linux that I could find which was Kali... I only had about a couple hours when the idea occurred to me the time I had to go to bed... But it worked... So now I just need to find other operating systems to place on them.. And so I'm thankful that I found your videos... Because now I got rid of the problem of there being Windows XP the password from a server of emergency response that wouldn't let me in and now I have full access to the machine... The Kali 32-bit OS.. was mainly used to just get rid of the problem... Now I just need to find an OS put on each system and withventory I have the ability to have variety off of One USB... So again thanks.. you've been a great help

@@Tidvel You're welcome. Glad you've got it up and running. Lots of Linux distros have now stopped supporting 32 bit but I believe Debian still supports older hardware, so could be worth a look :)

@@bytemypi2918 I managed to find a few.. hell I found a 32 bit version of Kali .. but doesnt run well on it.. so I through mint on there ..seemed to handle it pretty well

@@Tidvel Sounds good :)

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it :)

No problem :)

You're welcome :)

Thank you. I was never that great at chemistry - always preferred physics!

@@bytemypi2918 Do you have any experience or interest in Bodhi Linux? I'm always searching for a fast, lightweight OS for older 64-bit equipment but with some style. I'm also interested in an OS for educational purposes to teach my 7-year old grand-daughter to use conventional computer / laptop apps for reading and math and science, rather than android cellphone and tablets apps that seem so generic Best regards, Old John.

@@oldjohnsavarese3192 I know that Bodhi Linux is supposed to be relatively lightweight and is based on Ubuntu, but I don't have any personal experience of it. If you're after a good, solid, lightweight distro (and haven't used it already) I'd take a look at Ubuntu Mate. I'd also try Peppermint OS if you like a bit of style, but still want a distro that should run on older machines.

No problem. Not really. Just use whatever method works best for you :)

You're welcome :)

Very interesting, i searched a lot avout multiboot usb but never tumbled upon ventoy. I found out about it when LTT mentioned it.

Ta very much :)

@@bytemypi2918 too bad i didn't see it until after i bought 10 USB drives from amazon

@@danielguerrero1176 Blimey. It's a good job USB sticks are a lot cheaper than they used to be.

I've tried several multiboot tools and Ventoy certainly seems to be one of the most reliable.

Thanks for your support :)

You'll most likely need to re-enable secure boot in order to load Windows. If you don't want to disable it each time you use Ventoy take a look at the following article: www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html Hope that helps :)

Yep, forget the north and the south, the midlands is where its at :)

Not that I'm aware of, but if you install one of the operating systems and modify it, you could then create an image of that using Rescuezilla. I did a video on this topic, if you'd like to check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-20WpVButTW8.html

I'm not sure what you mean by safe boot mode for Ventoy. What are you trying to do?

@@bytemypi2918 Secure Boot support…you choose it as an option when formatting the usb for multi boot it suppose to help bios allow ventoy to work

@@TaureanRuler Ah secure boot. Yes, Ventoy added support for this, but its a bit hit and miss at the moment. If you're running Windows, odds are secure boot is already turned on in your computer's UEFI/BIOS. Its largely to prevent rootkits and malware infecting the Windows bootloader, so isn't really necessary for Linux. In fact it will actually prevent some non-Windows operating systems from even booting! For this reason, if you run into issues using Ventoy, you may need to turn it off while you're using it. You can read more about secure boot and Ventoy here: www.ventoy.net/en/doc_secure.html Hope that helps :)

Ventoy should work with your system as it supports UEFI, though you may need to turn off Secure Boot. Hope that helps.

The setup process is a little different in (Ubuntu) Linux. First make sure you have your USB stick connected to the computer. Once you've downloaded the Linux version of Ventoy, right click on it and choose "Extract here". Enter the ventoy folder that gets extracted. Then right click on the ventoy subfolder within it and choose "Open in Terminal". Inside the Terminal window, type the following (the command is case sensitive): sudo ./VentoyGUI.x86_64 Press Enter and, when prompted, type in your account password to run the program as admin. That should open Ventoy2Disk and you can now install it to your USB stick. Hope that helps :)

@@bytemypi2918 Hi, Thanks, I have it now. My apologies for the late acknowledgement. The rainy season is upon us and we have a seriously leaking roof, two cars, both with tire problems and, with school children still trying to study on line, limited internet access.

@@seacook42 That doesn't sound good, but I'm glad you got Ventoy working.

Ventoy supports both computers with the older BIOS and UEFI. Whether the individual ISO will boot properly on the PC will depend on what operating system it is, but most of the popular Linux distros should support the majority of computers manufactured in the last decade. Hope that helps :)

@@bytemypi2918 thanks :) I was also trying to know if i use mbr partition only..will the pendrive be detected on pure uefi bios with no uefi-csm or legacy Support?

@@asdbef3667 mbr is still supported, so a modern pc with uefi should have no problems detecting it :)

SanDisk is one of the biggest names in USB sticks so it should be fine :)

I don't believe Ventoy supports macOS, but I don't own a mac so unfortunately can't confirm this one way or the other. If it doesn't work, one potential workaround may be to try setting up Ventoy inside a Linux virtual machine on your mac. If you fancy giving that a try, feel free to checkout my Virtualbox video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oahjCMtjumc.html Hope that helps :)

@@bytemypi2918 Sir, thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. I will try.

@@daisyhirata You're welcome :)

so you don't need to disable secure boot

Yes, when you are preparing to install Ventoy onto the USB, there is an option in the ventoy installer menu called 'secure boot' checkmark it.

No problem. Yes, it's definitely a great tool to have in your collection :)
