Making a ventoy
This is how we made a ventoy. This is the video that we used to help us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7APoZzNPyU
*Important brfore begining*
Before starting, you need to make sure that secure bott is not on. To turn this of, enter bios and turn of the secure boot. if this is not done, you will not be able to boot the ventoy.
1. Using rufus, you need to format it. This is done by first selecting a non-bootable device. This will remove anything on it so you need to make sure anything that you want to be kept is backed up on to another device otherwise it will be gone.
2. You then need to install all the iso files that you want to put on it. You can get the files from the websites of the one that you want to use (e.g. archlinux.org)
3. You then want to download the ventoy from https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html
4. When everything is downloaded, you want to open the ventoy folder and select the file that is called Ventoy2Disk.
5. Once it has opened, you want to select the medium that you want the ventoy to be installed on and press install. Accept the pop ups that come up. One of the options will be to format the drive so make sure that there is nothing of importance stored on there.
6. After it has installed, check if it needs to update, and if it does, carry it out. If not, then carry on.
7. You will then want to import all the ISO files that you will want to use onto the drive.
8. Once the iso’s have pasted to the usb stick, you will then need to restart the computer and then load into bios
9. When in bios you then need to change the boot sequence so that the USB will be the first thing to boot then save your changes and exit bios
10. Once you leave the bios, it should boot to the ventoy.
Original problems faced
. The usb stick might not have been properly formatted, not letting it to boot
. I did not need to extract the file onto the usb due to it not being properly formatted.
