Ventoy is another excellent Multiboot USB boot creation software tool that can be used to copy, boot and run multiple ISO files from USB. Functionality is intuitive and relatively straight forward. You simply use the GUI utility to format and prepare your thumb drive, then drag and drop your chosen ISO files onto your flash drive. The ISO files are directly copied over and added to the boot menu. This should result in a ready to boot USB device. Much like the How does Ventoy work? Ventoy is a Multiboot USB tool that works by creating a hidden 32MB VTOYEFI bootable partition which houses the boot menu, GRUB boot loader and core related files. While another exFAT partition is created and used for storing the bootable ISO files. This method allows for the storage of file sizes larger than 4GB. The exFAT partition VT creates on your flash drive can also still be used for traditional storage purposes. This is unlike tools such as Win32 Disk Imager or Etcher that use DD to Write, or Additional plugins are available to enhance this tool. These plugins include features like using a custom theme, persistence for Ubuntu distributions, the ability to run full Linux distributions from a VDisk file, or VHD Boot to make Windows boot from USB. A .json file is used as the plugin entry point and to further customize configurations.

Ventoy is a lightweight and portable tool that provides a quick way to make bootable USB drives from ISO files. Reinstalling your operating system via a bootable USB comes with the advantage that you do not need to spend time formatting the disk. Instead, you simply insert the USB in the dedicated port and reboot your PC. While there are numerous tools that create bootable USB, most of them rely on the OS's kernel which needs to access the hardware storage media for the source. The idea behind the program is different and entails that the information is saved to runtime memory before booting. Therefore, the OS can determine that the data is booted from a virtual disk, find the source medium needed for the operation and continue to boot without having to create the standard hook, as with the classic booting. It is worth mentioning that the tool allows you to add as many ISO files as you want, case in which, you are welcomed by a menu following the boot. The program supports ISO files over 4 GB as well native UEFI and Legacy BIOS and it works with dozens of operating systems, as the developer states there have been more than 160 files tested.

With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk again and again, you just need to copy the iso file to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many iso files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. Both Legacy BIOS and UEFI are supported in the same way. 420+ ISO files are tested. A "Ventoy Compatible" concept is introduced by ventoy, which can help to support any ISO file. Can I install Ventoy to a partition in my installed disc? Yes. You can install Ventoy to virtually any drive, including a partition on your local disk. This means it can be installed in most USB drives, removable HD, SD Card, SATA HDD and SSD. What operating systems are compatible with Ventoy? Ventoy is compatible with Linux, macOS and most versions of Windows, this includes Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. For Windows 11 Ventoy has the ability to bypass the What kind of BIOS does Ventoy support? Ventoy supports various BIOS that include the x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI BIOS. What are the best Ventoy alternatives? 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 (1.0.07+) • Persistence supported (1.0.11+) • MBR and GPT partition style supported (1.0.15+) • WIM files boot supported (Legacy + UEFI) (1.0.12+) • Auto installation supported (1.0.09+) • ISO files larger than 4GB suppo...

Corbin Davenport / How-To Geek USB flash drives can be formatted to work as bootable drives, functioning as everything from Windows install disks to recovery software. However, they also have some limitations, which can be overcome with the right drive and software. Bootable flash drives are the most common way to install or repair an operating system on a computer. Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool can convert any flash drive into a However, you’re generally limited to just one operating system at a time for each flash drive. That means if you want to keep around a Windows install USB for recovery purposes, but also have a bootable Linux drive, you either need two flash drives or reformat the same drive every time. Neither solution is that great. That can become annoying after a while, especially if you’re regularly helping friends and family with computer problems and need to keep different installers and recovery options on hand. The divide between USB Type-A and USB Type-C also means some drives won’t physically work with all computers without the proper adapter. Pick the Right USB Drive Two factors matter the most for turning a USB drive into a boot drive: performance and storage capacity. If you have an old or cheap flash drive with poor read and write speeds, then it can take longer to boot up and perform installations. Storage capacity is also important, as we’re now long past Corbin Davenport / How-To Geek I didn’t have a spare flash drive already, so I ended up pur...
