Ventoy is an opensource tool to create a universal bootable USB drive for ISOs and other image files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over to create a bootable USB for different images, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot them directly via a dynamic menu.

New in v1.0.95:

  • Drag to resize Ventoy2Disk.exe dialog width.
  • Fix a bug when booting veket_24.
  • Fix a bug when booting the latest UOS server ISO.
  • New distro support: vanilladpup
  • New distro support: FydeOS 17
  • languages.json update

Ventoy is awesome, love being able to load a ton of different boot images on a single USB drive! The only issue I've run into is the occasional image that won't boot. Not sure if this is expected, or you need to sometimes tweak settings to get it working?

The best possible solution would be to update Ventoy! Some ISOs can be funky so the Ventoy dev adds special support for it and then updates the tool. Also, if you're trying to boot a Linux ISO, choosing the "grub2" boot option may yeild better results.
