I would like to help out if possible with hosting the files. I could set up a server that you could use to share the files. I have a 1GB Connection. Let me know if this is of any interest to you.
That would help immensely, especially for seeding.

Hello thanks so much for this and all the work you do!

I just registered because I'm curious about the hashes for "medicat.v18.10.stable.iso" in "hashes.txt" because as you see below the number of bytes you have listed only equals out to 3.7GB

Your results hashes.txt
Name: medicat.v18.10.stable.iso
Date: 10/19/2018
Size: 15 GB (3,705,307,136 bytes)
--------
SHA-1: DD9DB2F54DFE105D908D1B8202157123AFBD08BB
MD5: 0D4DAF7C31F80FE38A0CEA5FDF8B8A0E
CRC32: 015307DF

However when I check, these are my results
Name: medicat.v18.10.stable.iso
Date: 10/25/2018
Size: 15.4 GB (16,590,209,024 bytes)
--------
SHA-1: 935CEAB827E39C6A9A51CBE0A89C7AAECF068FC0
MD5: E727F4451CD6BE145AE195EE69049DB6
CRC32: 220593F5

I downloaded the file from Google Drive and when I attempt to seed it I'm always suck at 99.7% downloading so I'm curious what other people's hashes are and if the Google Drive download is corrupt.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I'll see if I can re-upload the file. I think if you download the torrent and force a recheck, it should just torrent the rest of the file and fix it for you. It's worth a try.

Oddly enough after the recheck it was stuck at 99.7% and would never finish so I redownloaded "medicat.v18.10.stable.iso" using just the torrent and the hashes match your original ones! Will try to get this seeding on my seedbox this week to help out!

Did you use the 16.2GB Medicat USB v 18.10 Stable version when you flashed it on to your USB stick? I have done that here and the USB stick has that menu. The menu is missing off the Mini since the Mini only contains the Win10

You have to set your UEFI to boot into Legacy/CSM mode, with secure boot also disabled. Otherwise, booting into UEFI goes right into Mini Windows 10 as intended.

Hi Jayro,

Firstly, very good job for all your work. This is amazing ! Really !
I've downloaded the lastest version. It work for the BIOS menu & Lubuntu, but when I try to start Mini Windows 10, the boot loading then stuck on a blackscreen, without start Windows 10...
Do you have any idea on what's happen and how to solve it ?

Many thanks !

The computer restart after the windows 10 loading file.

Hello Jayro, i downloaded the right iso 15GB all included but everytime i boot with it, it goes directly to windows 10 mini no menu at all. I tried Fat32 formating and ntfs, UEFI disable enable and disable and i cannot see your nice menu. Thanks in advance have a nice day.

I tried to set theUEFI to boot into Legacy/CSM mode, with secure boot also disabled but nothing works. this time my usb is fat32 formated is it the reason?

I have the same problem : from my BIOS, I can choose to boot from usb as uefi or as bios. If I choose uefi, WinPE is loaded. If I choose the other option, a black screen appears and I return to the boot menu.

No more problem for booting the menu my mistake was that i formated the usb with Rufus 3.3 using GPT partition table on the top menu. The correct one is MBR. GPT can only use UEFI Non CSM and MBR can use BIOS Or UEFI CSM.

Done i should watch the screenshot a bit more. I did not need to change anything in my bios.

Same issue while downloading from Google.
I tried your solution with torrent download and all bytes missing were downloaded.
Check hashes passed =)

Thanks a lot for your useful tool !!
