[QUOTE = "AAA3A, post: 9366357, member: 550732"] [QUOTE = "Jayro, post: 9366332, member: 310594"] Yes, the VHD really benefits from a real SSD. I have a 480GB portable USB SSD made by PNY. This is really a good deal and it is very fast for VHD.

Will this be enough for Médicat VHD which I add to Médicat USB?

Is the USB flash drive available HERE suitable for Médicat VHD in Médicat USB? Is it fast enough?

Yes, that is fast enough and looks good!

In Jayro's Lockpick, where are the tools, once the "linux" is launched?
It should launch automatically, but I'll have to do more testing and make sure it's working right. The next release is a sort of "bug fix" release that's coming later in this month.

[QUOTE = "Jayro, post: 9367334, membre: 310594"] Les outils sont pour déverrouiller Windows, pas Linux. [/ QUOTE]

Yes sorry. I say "Linux" because the interface looks like it! But can we manually open the tools?

Yes. Once booted, open This PC in the corner and open the USB to \Programs\Lockpick and open Lockpick.exe
Hope this helps.

In Medicat USB, I don't see any "programs" folders. Just portable apps.

Thank you very much for your work.

I would extract the Medicat Main Partition.zip.001 file to your USB again, because I don't think it extracted everything. There should be a 'Programs' folder on there. and it's only 1:30 in the morning where I live. (USA, west coast)

Thank you very much!
Another question :
What software do you use to modify iso?

You answer me at 1:30 am!
Is it possible to just have the folder I'm missing without re-uploading everything? Bad Internet connection = very long download!

The USB key must necessarily be formatted in NTFS for Médicat VHD?

A few ideas and suggestions:
1. Is it possible to add graphical support for manual adjusting the screen position (edges)?, because on PCs with TV connected as monitor, the screen goes behind...(i think, this feature is available in Nvidia Control Panel)

2. Antivirus: Could you include Kaspersky Rescue Disk? (good experience with this and it seems to be much better than Malwarebytes)

3. Boot Repair: Could you add Easy Recovery Essentials from Neosmart? (it is more comprehensive tool for repairing boot issues and very easy of use with one click automated boot repair), but it is not working somehow, there is required some technical work to make it work (some kind of error = ada - no such file or directory message)

4. Bug: Driver Booster portable is not working (there was a message about some file was not found)

5. Also, some tools, programs and boot discs are outdated, so update to latest versions would be perfect...

At last, thank you MediCat for your great work to make it available, it is really great masterpiece.

Now I ask myself the question: are you a man or a woman?
________________________________________________________________________________
I advise you to download again all the MEDICAT and decompress it on your key prepared with Ventoy after neutralizing all the antivirus software.
The key can be formatted in FAT32, that's even what I did to make it compatible with all my hardware.
But it won't be possible to copy an ISO of more than 4Gb.
Do not touch the small Ventoy partition.

[QUOTE = "Jayro, post: 9366332, membre: 310594"] Oui, le VHD bénéficie vraiment d'un vrai SSD. J'ai un SSD USB portable de 480 Go fabriqué par PNY. C'est vraiment une bonne affaire et c'est très rapide pour le VHD.

Sera-ce suffisant pour Médicat VHD que j'ajoute à Médicat USB?

In French : Je suis désolé mais la clé SSD externe QUMOX ne paraît pas fiable si l'on se réfère aux avis des personnes qui l'ont acheté.
Dans tous les cas, lorsqu'une clé de grande capacité est bon marché, cela sent l'arnaque.
In English :
I'm sorry, but the QUMOX External SSD Key does not appear to be reliable based on the opinions of the people who purchased it.
In any case, when a large capacity key is cheap, it smells like a scam.

La marque PN, utilisée par JAYRO, est fiable.
The PNY brand, used by JAYRO, is reliable.

Hello folks,

I am writing this message to inform everyone that MiniTool Partition Wizard does not work on MediCat 21.01. This is solved by using MiniTool Partition Wizard from the old Medicat 20.12. This is because on 21.01 you get the message that the version is not registered and therefore cannot be started.

@Jayro, thanks again for your wonderful commitment to this project.
