Progress Report:

So MediCat USB's v21.01 release was supposed to launch yesterday, but it kinda didn't happen yet, as I've been trying to finish up MediCat VHD. This way I can release them together, side by side.

But I want to clear some things up:
..........

9.) MediCat VHD was also built with ODD emulation harddrive enclosures in mind. The iODD 2531, iODD 2541, iODD Mini are all supported. Simply drop the MediCat VHD file into the _ISO folder of your iODD drive, mount the VHD, and select the MediCat VHD device at the BIOS's boot menu! I don't have a Zalman version to compare compatibility with, but I highly recommend anyone using the Zalman variants to flash theirs with the superior iODD firmware.
10.) If you DO use MediCat VHD on an iODD device, you MUST leave the "&DW" at the end of the filename, so the iODD drive knows the VHD is read/write! The file name is [UEFI]_MediCat_VHD_&DW.vhd, So please don't rename that part of the file if using with an iODD drive.

..............

Hello Jayro

I have read your last posts and......

Many thanks for your time spend to make tools like these who help

I will download Medicat_VHD and add this to Medicat USB last version 21.01 (in download too....)

For the option/possibility with a Zalman :
I have a zalman VE-500 and it not supporting VHD...
Is there a possibility to flash firmware of IODD ? I have not find link to firmware IODD compatible ....

Many thanks

Best regard from France

I can only seem to find firmware flashing tutorials for the VE-300, but not the VE-500. So you may want to get an iODD instead and sell the Zalman (taking out your drive first of course). I love my iODD 2531, it's invaluable to me as a PC Technician.

My iODD 2531 500GB SSD and my PNY 480GB SSD aid me in development.

Sur BitTorrent : Fichier, Ajouter un torrent par URL ...

Dis-moi si ça marche.

Tu pourras faire la même chose pour Medicat_VHD

There's still an issue with the MalwareBytes Anti-malware 2.2.1 program on Medicat 21.01. When i try to scan using threat scan or use any scan it cancels the scan after updating the definitions. Resetting the data and updating the app with the latest definitions doesn't work.

I still don't understand why that is, as I didn't mess with Malwarebytes at all for the last few releases, beyond updating the definitions.

Hi Jayro,

Thank you for your Medicate gift. Can you explain to us how you put it on your IODD Do you just put the VHD on it or do you also put the Medicate?

Thank you

You just place the VHD file into your _ISO folder on your iODD drive. Then you can mount it like you would an ISO, and boot from it.

Those aren't mine. I suggest you run a virus scan on your system, as nobody else has reported such an issue, and they don't show up on my machine. Anything that appears "infected" on MediCat USB is a false positive, due to the way some of the portable applications have been packaged.

Hello Jayro,

Your multiboot just saved my computer 2 days ago when I could not boot, thank you for that :) and I saw MediCat VHD today, which is full Windows 10 as I understood, that's nice. Your work is wonderful.

I see that there are a lot of people asking @Jayro questions regarding her software. We must remember that this person is also a human being, just like us. We do need to keep things calm people.

So I was thinking if it is not possible that some members are appointed as editors/administrators to answer the other members and in this way take the burden off @Jayro ? Kind of like how XDA-Developers does it roughly.
