Ventoy

[sbstndalton]

In a recent video Linus talks about using Ventoy as a bootable USB drive with multiple iso(s) available. I found it fascinating, so I gave it a shot. I downloaded it, installed it on my Windows 11 machine, ran the windows executable and ran the install. Put a couple of iso(s) in it and I thought I was good. Well, I power off the machine, boot up into the boot manager, and the drive is not there, as a bootable drive. I think I’m doing something wrong, but I did disable secure boot and all the other stuff people have said online, but it still doesn’t work. Can you guys help me out? I followed this tutorial from a while ago https://youtu.be/z1FyoCswwAc

I've had issues with it on CSM and legacy BIOS machines so check if that might be the case, you should see 2 partitions on your ventoy formatted drive, also check which "partition" you're booting in as some are weird (ASUS shows 2 different entries that are identical yet aren't)

Secure boot isn't as big of an issue as ventoy script generates a valid cert to import into MOKUTIL and it would still show up if it was on

I was using 2 machines to test this, one 2015 HP Pentium laptop, and a more recent 10th gen i5 HP Probook. Both machines reacted the same way, and I might be unfamiliar with legacy in bios machines. What are the steps I should take to get it to work properly?
