Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

[Jayro]

MediCat USB v21.03 has just been released!

Changelog is attached to this post.​

 

[AAA3A]

Many thanks for this long and laborious project! Thank you very much! Your project is wonderful and each version is much better than the last! Thank you so much!

 

[AAA3A]

You have added a lot of software to the Programs folder! Why not put them in PortableApps? What are they for?

I am trying to get Medicat working and I'm running into a few issues, no doubt user error but hopefully someone can help out.

I have a 32 GB thumb drive that I used Ventoy on, I formated the drive to NTFS and extracted the files to the drive.
When I booted off the drive I got a blue Ventoy menu with a bunch of .iso files on it.
Some open, other don't with a "No bootfile found for UEFI! Maybe the image does not support x64 UEFI

I've tried UEFI only CSM No, Both with UEFI first CSM Yes, and Both Legacy first CSM Yes. There is no change to the behaviour.

Try remaking the drive, but in Ventoy2Disk's Options menu, change the partition style from MBR to GPT. That may solve your issue. And another thing to try is disabling Secure Boot support in Ventoy2Disk as well. Make sure Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS too.

Anyone looking for a working version of MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.3 shoot me a PM. The one in this version continues not to work but I have fixed it. When you run the MiniTool Partition Wizard and wait like 10 seconds it should put you in the program. If you still cant get in when you click on the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Tab" just hit Alt+Tab and click on the MiniTool Wizard Icon and Boom your in and up and going! I have tested several times in BIOS and UEFI on 2 different systems and it works.

PS: This is the ISO file! Not the portable version.

MiniTool was replaced with AOMEI in the new version.

MiniTool was replaced with AOMEI in the new version.

This is for people that don't want to use AOMEI, as I am not a fan of that program myself.

The start menu.

The start menu.

The start menu of which tool?

 

[Jayro]

The windows start menu has its own list of tools in it, and that's why they're in the Programs folder. You can modify those too.

Hello,
Malwarebytes does not start in the bootable tool and on the normal computer.

Here are the two notifications that appear when I start the software:

Afterwards, nothing happens!

Hey Jayro great project I want something like this a year ago the Bios/ Uefi. Ventoy made that possible
any way No boot file found is for @active 17 "No bootfile found for UEFI! Maybe the image does not support x64 UEFI
Marked as uefi but only seems to boot in BIOS mode
Just an FYI
thanks again for this USB project!!!

I'll take another look, but try making the USB again with GPT partition style and try again.

I still can't understand how and in which tool you can launch this menu? In mini Windows 10? In Malwarebytes? In Jayro's Lockpick?

The mini Windows 10 start menu.
