Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drives for ISO/IMG/VHD(x)/WIM/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the disk images to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can have multiple images on the disk and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

I just discovered Ventoy this past week or so and haven't had any issues with any ISO I've thrown at it.

It's my new favorite utility.

That's interesting, because I could never get Ventoy to work, and I tried multiple times with multiple distros (and Windows).

Hopefully this update fixes that, but it might be good to mention that YMMV.

It didn't work with windows for me, so I've defenestrated it from my USB sticks.

I was able to use it for Windows recovery and as Windows 10 install media with no issues. Sorry it didn't work for you though.

Its no big deal, I'm happy being able to try out various distros (including a rescue-distro) from one USB stick. I rarely need to boot windows from a stick.

Glad it worked out for you! 😊
