The password is right on the yellow text in the menu.

@royitoroy Wipe the disk completely and the partition preferably with some gparted and delete any partitions then create a ntfs partition and install multicat etc. according to the guides. If multicat works and loads properly I would advise you to keep your "stuff" on the same partition as your multicat files. It's best to make a folder and create a file called .ventoyignore in it. then the ventoy will not unnecessarily load your personal belongings and you will be able to keep them there safely.
I can't get it to work... I always get the error this is not a standard ventoy device and is not supported (4098) and it can't load from the external hdd

Yeah, MediCat hasn't been an ISO since 2019. Likely won't be an ISO ever again. It actually stands a better chance of being released as a .VHD file, which I'm experimenting with.
Ouch that's too bad, I was searching for the ISO too. I already have a Ventoy stick with several iso's and Linux/Windows setups, and I wanted to add Medicat ISO to the stick. There's now a very old version on it (I believe v8 or so).

You can create and mount a .VHD file that's 32GB, and install Ventoy+MediCat to that, and boot to it in Ventoy.

I just tested medicat and I have a small problem. When I want to launch the mini windows 10 I get an error message. I think the winload.exe is missing.

Have you ever had this problem?

How much RAM do tout have?
Did you verified the source files checksums?
Maybe a problem when creating the key (or the key itself)? Did you disabled thé antivirus ?

Help, we are using Dell Micro 5080's with PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 there seems to be issues with loading the mini windows 10 or especially running the password reset tools. If the password reset tools run, then there will always be NO SAM ACCOUNTS thus there are no accounts present to reset passwords. Can you help with this?

Would it be possible to include the Intel Process Diagnostic Tool into the toolkit?

(My account is too new to paste a link, but if you google for "Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool", it should be in the first few results).

This is useful to do things like verify that an Intel CPU is genuine, check for CPU flags, test/verify specific CPU features, run stress-tests on the CPU etc.

I think this would be quite valuable to include!

(There's also a pre-built portable apps version here - google for it - although I haven't verified it, and I'm not sure if you prefer to build your own portable apps).

I believe an IODD can boot a VHD file. But there are posts above this that may help you also and much more help available if you join the discord. Link on first page.

I can't even express how many times this would have come in handy in the 20-some years I've had computers as a hobby. I used Ultimate Boot CD a million times when discs weren't a dead technology. i don't even wanna know how many times I had to throw memtest on a flash drive or need to make a bootable [insert OS here] USB. This is definitely going on a flash drive or two in my backpack which goes everywhere with me. So thank you...you have made my life not only a little easier but also saved me from having to say 'god damnit..where the hell is a flash drive and what's on it' and wasting valuable 'not doing that' time.
