Direct Ventoy for Windows & Linux version 1.0.08 Portable -=TeamOS=-

[Mirkec]

Review
Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO files. With ventoy, the user does not need to format the disk again, and again, a user just needs to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. Users can copy many iso files at a time, and Ventoy will give him a boot menu to select them.

Ventoy is a new software application for Windows and Linux that does things a bit differently. Instead of extracting an ISO image, it allows user to place/copy the actual ISO images on the USB device so that user may boot from them directly. The program supports multiple ISO images that the user can place on a USB device and uses GRUB as the boot manager.

Users can transfer multiple ISO images to the device once the Ventoy structure has been created on the device using an installer. It is possible to place Windows and Linux images on the device to boot from them whenever the need arises. Updating of ISO images is a breeze, as well as the user simply replace an ISO image with another.

Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 200+ ISO files are tested (List). A "Ventoy Compatible" concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file.


How to use:
Installation is pretty straightforward on Windows. Simply extract the application archive and select a USB device using the device selector at the top and hit the Install button to start the process. Ventoy formats the entire disk and erase all content on it but warns about it. The application creates a FAT and an exFAT partition on the device. Once the initial installation has been done, place ISO images on the partition. Ventoy will pick these up automatically when the user boots it to provide him with a selection menu. Just select the operating system to boot and wait for the boot process to complete.

1. Insert an empty USB stick;
2. Extract and start Ventoy;
3. Select the correct drive and click to install;
4. There is a query whether the content should also be deleted and a second afterward for security;
5. If the message appears that everything has been installed correctly, the ISO can be copied directly into the new partition created in File Explorer;
6. Enjoy!

NOTE: The full path of the ISO file (directories, subdirectories, and file name) should NOT contain any spaces or non-ASCII characters.

Spoiler: Key features:

• 100% open-source;
• Simple to use;
• Fast (limited only by the speed of copying ISO file);
• Directly boot from ISO file, no extraction needed;
• Legacy + UEFI supported in the same way;
• UEFI Secure Boot supported (since 1.0.07+);
• ISO files larger than 4GB supported;
• Native boot menu style for Legacy & UEFI;
• Most types of OS supported, 200+ iso files tested;
• Not only boot but also complete installation process;
• ISO files can be listed in List mode/TreeView mode Notes;
• "Ventoy Compatible" concept;
• Plugin Framework;
• Readonly to USB drive during boot;
• USB normal use unaffected;
• Data nondestructive during version upgrade;
• No need to update Ventoy when a new distro is released.

Spoiler: CHANGELOG:

What is new in version 1.0.08 (Released on April 30, 2020):

• Add F1 hotkey for Memdisk mode;
• Add F2 hotkey for Reboot/Halt;
• Add F3 hotkey for TreeView mode;
• Skip directory and subdirectory enumation by put a flag file .ventoyignore;
• Optimzation process for ubuntu/deepin/uos/kylin/Manjaro/CentOS7/Fedora;

Hi !
I try to use it with Windows 10, once it prompt thé list of my Iso, next it displays Black screen and stuck at that level..
Need help !

 

[Bigly]

I had a similar problem as Maliwari with Manjaro Linux. It hangs at the startup sequence of the installation process. I believe this isn't a fault of the program though, rather a demonstration of it's inherent limitations. I'd recommend viewing the source page for more information about this. But thank you for the post I was unaware of this program and it's open source which is always a plus.

Same here. I tested several windows 10 isos (from Nicky and original one) and none will start after I choose iso from start list. I tested even one Winpe iso and r-driveimage iso for restoring windows from backup and both started directly from the boot menu list. Hope this app will improve it in the future becouse it lokks promising and its very easy to use. Thank you even Mirkec to share this app with us.

Today I successfully install three following builds with this app: Berserker 10 LTSC Enterprise (1809), Torque 10 Enterprise (19041), and Zorin 15.2. All three installation procedure went smoothly and without any issue. It took me a few hours and I will not prove anything more! This is a reliable, fast, and next-generation app and IMHO better then RUFUS.

If you go on the official website you will see that the app has been tested on 220 different versions of Windows, Linux, VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer, including Manjaro Linux. This app will have new updates for sure but not because as spoken above inherent limitations. LOL.

I haven't read the whole thread (at work now) but I've had issues because I was lazy and started copying 7-8 Win OS'es, Linux distros, Hiren boot, mini tool partition wiz and memtest32 all at once... It didn't work. One by one - it works!

Thanks @Mirkec

mostly, i think it has problems with x86 builds. the 64bit works smootly
