I will try Linux Live when I have got my head round Ventoy.
I will try Ventoy first.
I only suggested doing it that way as a quick method to get up and running and retrieve the data, just in case there was a time limitation on the process.
I have usedVentoy
for a VERY long time. I think I was one of the first members on this Forum to Post about it, and I wouldNOT
be without it now.
Hello @steve108,
I was thinking of the best and quickest method for the OP to retrieve the friends data without the need to learn and testVentoy
.
Now if the OP finds that it does what they want, and would like a method to have furtherBootable ISO
files available to them withRepair Tools
, or a couple ofWinPE
files, then obviouslyVentoy
is the way to go. It just means that a little bit of learning is involved to understand how the differentPartitions
work, and what additional files can put on them, like personal Folders, Files, Drivers etc.
Let's say we are entertaining the conversation...
You can trick a Rufus boot sector to load anything from the same drive in NTFS. If your requirements are Windows only you can boot any wim / VHDx from any directory you want on GPT / MBR drives. With Bootmgr at Root. Just By replacing Rufus BCD's Which are loaded in the root of the NTFS Partition... Very simple to add Any Windows or PE Solution to the same drive. Boot Ice makes it easy.
So the assumption is that they know and have already learned Rufus?
What's there to learn about Ventoy - considering I provided a video? Download Ventoy, make the Ventoy USB by running the .exe, copy the Mint ISO to the USB, boot the USB, select Mint, boot to Mint.
Am I missing something?
