How to install several dozen of operating systems in Ventoy? Even my own younger brother couldn't wait he gave me(yesterday)his own USB Flash Drive(formerly his own it's mine now-today). I didn't intentionally delete several operating systems at once from the list from Ventoy, it was by accident. It's just that when I selected Microsoft Windows 11 from the list and then some guy came up with a partition formatting issue, that it was NTFS, not EXT4 or something like that, I formatted the pendrive accidentally. I highly doubt that it would be Artificial Intelligence/ChatGPT messing up secretly with Ubuntu Linux partitions. Also could so-called Black Screen of Doom show up for instance in Windows 11 or even Linux Mint? Is there a way to do system restore of those files? Would it require making some sort of files scripts or still not,yet? How to upload multiple operating systems to Ventoy? How to check how many operating systems were uploaded there before deleting, i.e. before and after formatting the pendrive with Rufus? Is it possible to do this at all or is it not possible not exactly not at all?
 


Once you have Ventoy installed to a USB stick you simply copy and paste the ISO file into it
To install Ventoy
sudo bash ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/xxx
where xxx is your USB Flash Drive
To update run as root
sudo bash ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -u /dev/XXX -
Where XXX is you Flash Drive

If you have formatted your flash drive then getting those files back are next to nil - you do not need to format you USB flash drive when you install Ventoy it will do that for you - here is photo of my Ventoy Drive as you can see I have both Linux and Windows 11 on it

It looks like that something went wrong.
 
Did you go into your UEFI settings at boot, and change the boot device to the Ventoy USB stick? Save those settings, select save and exit.

When it boots, you should have a Ventoy menu. It's as simple as that!

After you are finished with that, you should go back into those settings and change that boot setting back to the way it was before. On my system, that would be the OS on my hard drive.

So tell me how to at least mount Ventoy to USB Flash Drive/Pendrive on for instance Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition,please?
You do not mount it to a flash drive you install it - see my post #2 for instructions
 
I can't read that one

My bad.

I ran a search on Ventoy and mentioned by Jarret, our Staff Writer, and found both.

That second one is still in Linux Staging, to be approved by Rob, our boss. Staff can view it - it will be out soon, I hope, at the top of our page.

That is not the correct one you downloaded - you need to download the one entitled
ventoy-1.1.05-linux.tar.gz
next you need to extract the contents - you will get a folder called "ventoy-1.1.05" - now open that folder you will see the following

now open a terminal inside this folder and follow my instructions in post #2
 
Anyway how to fix for good permanently not exactly not at all temporarily so-called Black Screen of Doom even for instance even if it's showing up on Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition?
 
@luke11685 Further to Bob's, well-written, thread linked above, there are also these from our Staff Writer, here

Thank you wizard for those kind words...I also have...How to update Ventoy.

So would it be for instance .zip,.tar.gx or .tar.gz? I have .iso file. And I don't know which application should I use. Is there for instance Daemon Tools for Linux Mint?

This is the file you download...

Double click the above to extract the folder inside...now you'll see this...

Now follow the instructions in post 8.

Hope this helps.

Once Ventoy is installed on your Flash Drive you can add your ISOs...
