Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

[Lewis3563]

I'm still not sure why I can't get UEFI ISOs to load when the USB is certainly in UEFI mode, hmm

@Jayro, where did you find all the tools you put on Jayro's Lockpick?
For example, Bypass the windows password is an unknown tool and a free equivalent of konboot!

Ventoy v1.0.37 has been released

Hello,
looks very good. But no matter what i try to start, i get this message:

"No bootfile found for UEFI!
Maybe the image does not support IA32 UEFI!"

I have a pad with atom-processor and 32bit EFI. There is no CSM or Legacy-Option.
I want to get rid of WIN10.

Thanks.

I have just tested the versions of Médicat USB 6.10.2014 and 12.10.2014! There have been real changes! I found them on Médiafire because on page 3 and page 6, there are the links in an answer of the first post!

This toolkit is 64-bit only.

Can you answer this question?

This toolkit is 64-bit only.

I have old Dell 32 bit laptop and I can boot Medicat in BIOS mode and get quite a few allocations working. Secure boot disabled I believe. I know it is mostly meant for modern 64 bit computers and not old computers.

Just thought I would give others a friendly warning.

Do NOT use Windows Defenders "Protected Folder Access" with MediCat (not enabled by default) , as if you try to update Ventoy on your MediCat stick while it is enabled, Ventoy ends up not getting permissions to the drive, and somehow wipes the partition table on the USB instead of just updating it. Not sure why, but instead of outright blocking folder access to the drive, it just wipes it completely!!

**EDIT** You can add the Ventoy2Disk.exe to the exclusions for protected folder access and this shouldn't happen. Make sure to add it to the exclusions BEFORE running the .exe!

Good advice, thank you for telling others.

Good that some things work on 32-bit PCs, I just can't guarantee anything will work on a 32-bit machine. I dropped 32-bit support shortly after Ubuntu did years ago. (Makes sense, for a PC repair kit targeting newer, modern computers.)

For those who don't know how to boot on a USB key and who have just downloaded Médicat, here is a complete tutorial in attachment which contains three different ways to access the BIOS or its BOOT MENU to boot on a USB key!

Hello, I want to make your key, but i don't understand a thing. I am see 6 partition zip. And my question it's :
do i have to unzip them one by one in the key or only the first??

Hi, @Jayro

i want to use this at work, and in the post said the the Medicat iso its free of virus. I create the usb of medicat 21.01 without Windows Defender, but when I activate it, quite serious viruses such as Trojans, coinminers and many more appear, why is this? I would like to use this in my workplace and I need assurance that it is a reliable application, I used medicat Mini-windows and did not have any virus, why now do I have it?

Ty so much

Médicat has no viruses but has tools that allow you to bypass the Windows password, for example, which for antivirus software is called PIRACY viruses!

In addition, the tools that allow you to modify windows, activate it, etc. are identified by the ANTIVIRUS.

Finally, it is because of this reason that @Jayro and other users advise you to deactivate ALL your ANTIVIRUS so that they do not remove files from Medecine, which may no longer work!

PS: I've been using this tool for two months and I've never had ANY problems: this tool is perfect for work purposes for example to troubleshoot any PC with legacy or uefi!

 

[Jayro]

Yes, the false positives are due to the way the PortableApps have been packaged, I would never put a virus into this project. That's just absurd. I wouldn't want to tarnish my good name like that.

Been working hard on MediCat USB today for several hours, and have been making fixes here and there.
Here's the changelog so far:

=========================
Changelog for v21.03:
=========================


Added:
+ PassMark Memtest86 Pro v9.0 for [ARM64/AARCH64] [UEFI]: Since Ventoy added ARM64/AARCH64 support,
I figured it couldn't hurt to add this version for people with ARM64 hardware. Though I don't have any
ARM64 computers myself, so it's completely
untested by me. Any feedback of it working or not is
greatly appreciated.


Removed:
- MiniTool Partition Wizard in the PortableApps menu. (Swapped it out with AOMEI Partition Assisstant v9.1 for now.)


Apps:
~ Many PortableApps have been updated.
~ Ventoy to v1.0.37
~ Wabbitemu's TI-83 Plus OS has been upgraded from v1.13 to v1.19 of the OS.

Updated Images:
~ Acronis True Image to v2021 Build 39184 [UEFI] (Huge bug-fix version.)
~ EaseUS Todo Backup to v 13.5.0 [UEFI]
~ AOMEI Backupper to v6.4 [UEFI]
~ NIUBI Partition Editor to v7.4.1 [UEFI]
~ Symantec Ghost x64 to v12.0.0.11331 [UEFI]
~ SystemRescue to v8.01 [UEFI]
~ O&O BlueCon to v18.0.8088 [UEFI]
~ Parted Magic to v2021.02.28 [UEFI]
~ EasyUEFI to v4.5.1 [UEFI]
~ PassMark Memtest86 Pro to v9.0 [UEFI]


Menu Changes:
# Version info has been updated.
# New wallpaper.


Fixed:
* Edited Lang.ini in the boot.wim of "MiniTool Power Data Recovery v9.2" from Spanish (Language=58) to
English (Language=31), so now it boots in English.
* Returned Malwarebytes Bootable to the 2018
WinPE, as scans were unable to be finished by the 2016 WinPE in the v12.01 release.
* Further improvements to overall system stability
and other minor adjustments have been made to
enhance the user experience.
