I’ve been using the program for almost 4 weeks now, and it hasn’t failed me with any of the other ISOs I’ve tried. I plan to download and try some absolutely current Win10 ISOs next. Now, I need to live with this for a while and see how it grows or wears on me.

This appears to be a useful tool because it’s incredibly simple to use, works with all kinds of ISO files (including many, many versions of Linux as well as Windows), and requires only copying of one or more ISO files to the Ventoy partition for setup. Thus, I’m inclined to suspect something amiss with the winpese ISO rather than the Ventoy boot software. But it did boot to both the DART and the Win10 Business editions ISOs. This sat there, doing nothing, for quite some time. When I selected Kyhi’s Rescue Disk, it initially threw up a blank screen rectangle on top of the Ventoy menu. + winpese-圆4-14393_17.01.16.iso (the most current version of Kyhi’s Rescue Disk, to my knowledge) _a10b235d.iso (my “business editions Win10 iso”) + DART10.iso (Windows 10 version of the Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset, DART) I also had to jump into my BIOS and disable secure boot before I could boot to the Ventoy UFD, but sure enough its menu showed me options to boot into all three of the ISOs I copied onto the Ventoy partition: Just for grins I copied a fairly recent business editions 1903, Kyhi’s Rescue Media (WinPEse…), and the DART iso onto my prepared UFD. Here, you can add as many bootable images as you like by copying ISO files into that storage space. The remaining disk space goes into an ex-FAT formatted partition labeled Ventoy.

32MB goes into a FAT-formatted partition that gets labelled EFI on my PCs (all of which support EFI: I don’t have any MBR-only PCs any more). It begins by creating a dual partition layout on the Flash Drive (and completely over-writes its former contents).

Using Ventoy2DiskĪfter you insert a USB flash drive into the PC where you’ve copied the Ventoy ZIP file, launch the Ventoy2Disk application. It may not look like much, but Ventoy provides some useful and interesting capabilities. On a machine running Windows Defender, I didn’t have this problem. Norton blocked the necessary executable file - named Ventoy2Disk.exe - so I had to manually exclude it from screening and restore it to the root of the extracted files directory. I’m OK with that, so I opened it up to try it out (on a scratch SSD which I can destroy and replace whenever I need to). Only McAfee flagged the file, out of the 62 engines that VirusTotal uses for screening.

(That’s what happened when I downloaded the Ghacks mirror link, in fact.) All this screams “Look out!” or perhaps “Be careful!” Thus my next move was to submit the ZIP file to VirusTotal for a checkup. Normally, such a small download happens so quickly I don’t even get a download progress tab in Chrome, Firefox or Edge for something of this size. I eventually appealed to Martin Brinkmann at who posted an al ternative download/mirror link at my urging.

All four of my download attempts failed with a “Network error.” Using the Network Meter gadget on an otherwise quiescent machine, transfer rates varied from a low of 10 Kbps to a high of 180 kbps - ungodly slow, in other words. More alarmingly, the ZIP file download never worked for me, even for a paltry 3.1 MB file.
