Above all, before any action, deactivate all antivirus software, including Defender.
Otherwise, some files will be deleted and MedicatUSB will not work
Ok pour l'information.

@MON5TERMATT Ventoy now is more verbose in choosing the file-system for the Ventoy partition. Do you recommend keeping it at the default exFat or changing it to NTFS?

Edit: I have a new flash drive that I'm going to put everything on. My previous flash drive was very old. I'll see if I still have the write issue after this.

Keep using NTFS.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the Partition Configuration in Ventoy2Disk. You don't change it in the OP. Should I change it or keep it default? I only ask because Ventoy2Disk now displays the format on the main screen.

Also, thanks for checking in between Splatoon matches 😏

Yes, NTFS should be used during Ventoy creation. I haven't updated it since Ventoy introduced that option. But it does say to format the disk as NTFS afterwards.

Ouch, but fair enough... :ph34r:

Ah. Thank you. I wasn't thinking. I thought it referred to the Ventoy boot partition, not the other one. Silly me!

Hi Jayro,

MediCat USB v21.12 is now one year old. Are there any plans to create a new version for the anniversary?

Virus Total flags installer 46/70 -

I just downloaded the latest version via the magnet link. Bitdefender flagged the installer as being infected. I ran the installer through Virus Total and 46 of 70 also flagged it. That does not seem like a false positive.

if you are so worried, don't use the installer and do it yourself (detailed instructions in the first post)

regards

You should disable all antivirus software, including Defender. This is clearly stated in the installation instructions

Might be an obvious question, but what are the F1-F7 buttons at the bottom of the main MEDICAT menu? What does each one do?

What was the latest Medicat build with full support for 32-bit (x86) processors ?
(sorry if already answered elsewhere... I couldn't find the answer in this thread)

Hi Keket, I believe the latest 32-bit version was v4.23.2016, but I'm not sure where you can get it from.

Hello.

Thank you so much for creating this great tool.
A small question, would it be possible to obtain the latest version of Medicat in .iso format

I would like to put the image on my Zalman (a physical Daemon Tools equivalent).

Thank you in advance for your answers

Thanks in advance
