Click OK for the prompt that Rufus pops up. You only need to select the corresponding disk and the vtsi file.Īll the other options remain the default value.

Try them one by one and there will definitely be a method can work.Įnable Option-> Generate VTSI File as follows: =>Ĭlick Install button, this time it will NOT write to the disk, but will create a VentoySparseImg.vtsi file.Īnd then use Rufus(3.15+) to write the vtsi file to the corresponding disk to complete the installation of Ventoy. When you run into the problem, don't worry, here I provide 2 methods. In the Windows system, there are many restrictions on this operation, and this process is easily affected by other programs, such as anti-virus software, system active protection, etc. This article is only for install Ventoy, if you have problem when update Ventoy, please refer When Ventoy2Disk.exe Failed To Updateīecause Ventoy needs to modify the MBR and partition table of the disk during installation. You are suggested to replug the USB and retry, but it may still fail after many attempts. This is not a criticism of the VenToy software, which does appear to offer a very interesting option for directly/regularly testing new ISOs without any of the pre-processing other solutions need and it's something I might well use on a dedicated external USB SSD/Hard Drive, but probably not on a 'Thumb Drive'.Sometimes it may fail when you use Ventoy2Disk.exe to install Ventoy in Windows. once VenToy has been used to create the dedicated usb drive it's no longer needed which is totally different to Rufus and other similar apps, which do have to be regularly used to process any new iso images. I didn't intend to imply it couldn't be used (with care) via the PortableApps Platform - That was poorly worded by me, but my personal view is that there is little purpose in devoting the scarce and valuable development time needed to creating and maintaining a PortableApps version of any app that is already natively portable and which is unlikely to be needed regularly, i.e. Because, by the Developer's own description, the primary purpose of this app is solely to set up a dedicated USB Drive (which which includes complete erasure and repartitioning of that Drive), after which the software on that drive is self-updating and any ISOs are managed by the user manually copying to the appropriate partition.
