The DiskGenius WIM file in the Partition Tools is quite outdated (5.3.0.1066), the latest retrievable version as of now is 5.4.1.1178.

PEStartup.exe added to USB stick.
It is easy to add Desktop icons and change wallpaper.
Can be run on any PE, so whatever PE you run, you have same changes made to it.
Medicat Mini10 does not seem to auto-run \TheOven_Startup.cmd on startup so it must be run manually once booted to WinPE.
That's neat. All I used it for was installing drivers and registry keys upon boot, which already works without any issues.

Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the language of my message.
Hello,
1) Does Medicat USB work on Mac or Linux?
2) Does Mini Windows 10 have a feature to connect it to my touchpad?
3) Are there other supplements besides Medicat VHD and Medicat Second Opinion?
A big thank you to Jayro who has done a wonderful job with this tool that saves me a lot of time!
I know it must take him a long time, but it works perfectly and solves the problems of all Médicat users and even more!
Thanks a lot!

Yes, always disable secure boot, it causes more problems than it's worth.

You can Secure UEFI64-boot to Ventoy using Easy2Boot.
In many cases you do not need to disable Secure Boot unless the signed Kaspersky shim used has been blacklisted in your DBx BIOS database list.

Hi from France (again, one more) !

Jayro your job is very clever : Medicat is a so great tool that helps a lot everyday. A very very big thank you!

To SebaFR : about ATI2020, most of the time USB drivers (also chipset and enbeeded controller) are concerned. ATI's community power users used to create an 'ATI-MVP' boot media that is more complete (also with more drivers!). As WinPE it can be build onto a specific platform with a script that list and package this platform's driver, to insure it will full work well. Very handy for some old exotic server's drive controller (specific RAID or 1st SCSI generation). My personal MVP ISO works like a charm onto Medicat ;) Of course, a working ATI licence is needed onto the PC you use to build the media.

A French link about this looking for "outil assistant MVP" and "Générateur de médias personnalisé basé sur WinPE", more in English looking for "ATI MVP-tool" (see posts from Steve Smith).

I feel very concerned by SteveSi last post. I'd like to customize my Mini_Windows_10. I often use the whole kit onto a Dell laptop Latitude 5500 with a second screen LG32 up to 2560x1440. I tried to update screen INF, but no luck. The trouble comes from Intel display adapter.

I also noticed that Ventoy first menu displays 800x600. When I manually commute it to 2560x1440 or any other res, it works. But not as autodetect. May be some trick with high res this display can provide? Or could it be because this is an external display (using HDMI)?

So I tried to add an Intel UHD Graphics 620, to work with wider display than 800x600. Generic MS driver do not manage it correctly but Intel installation need a wider X:\ drive to go. I did not manage to find a small driver for this video board (or to extract it correctly). Can someone help me to "incorporate" this specific display adapter?

I'd really like to learn how to engage some specific (all kind), as I often work with very exotics computers.

A beautiful day to every one :)

I've uploaded older Medicat builds that I've found over the past week to:

https://ulozto.net/folder/p7dRoqjrynN4/name/Medicat?view=list&sort=name

Ulozto allows to download files at the speed of 300 KB/s which isn't the fastest solution but files remain there forever. I recommend getting them with JDownloader 2 download manager:

https://jdownloader.org/JDownloader2

Hashes for medicat.17.04.01.stable.iso are different to those found in this thread but it could be a different build with the same filename. Can someone confirm? Jayro?

MD5 : 948E3B2D71756AF0A9E55D588DCC7CC5
SHA1 : 79BB274CEADA6AB3A579307BA5DA459B5029F10C

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:21FC4D9BF1EE9E5468375480A96E67A8D4B4DC22

==================================================

I cannot verify hashes for medicat.17.10.02.stable.iso either but the filesize is identical to those found elsewhere.

MD5 : B02403CBEC5788CD6C68911D41FF9161
SHA1 : 3CEBDF0AB30A710E893B2F2251F6F9587C6D285C

https://tech2tech.fr/medicat-lutilitaire-ultime-pour-le-depannage-informatique-passe-en-version-17-10/

==================================================

medicat.v18.04.stable.iso is the same as in a .torrent file:


MD5 : 388F9D78BAB5499E6C421A5A86CD92ED
SHA1 : 40A5339FDA45BC945A2A87DD619C5DFF5832D631

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:77DCA73421E2908248DBEB13AB430E460A1816E5


==================================================

medicat.v18.10.stable.iso must be coming from Google Drive as stated here:

medicat.v18.10.stable.iso file is still available to download from your Google Drive but it seems that file was originally uploaded with some errors. I tried to download it many times (at different days/nights, from different PCs and from different locations). Every time the MD5 checksum of downloaded file from Google Drive was the same: 098a29da811cfa0a40d1b64b3595bd70 but, to compare, MD5 checksum included in 18.10 hashes.txt file was 0d4daf7c31f80fe38a0cea5fdf8b8a0e and that's the MD5 checksum of medicat.v18.10.stable.iso file when it's downloaded from torrents.

MD5 : 098A29DA811CFA0A40D1B64B3595BD70
SHA1 : 063F9E8643E289F873450A9E186001563F80C124
CRC32 : 9A4E0419

File Size : 16,590,209,024 bytes


==================================================

I cannot verify hashes for medicat.16.10.stable.iso at all. Use at your own risk.

MD5 : 68E511EA3E300CC20E4F6A034A39A256
SHA1 : 886251049DDD3935AB7D946A1364A967432B7F12
CRC32 : 9F89E60B


File Size : 8,061,687,808 bytes

==================================================

Cheers!

My Google account has been hacked and stolen, so as a safety precaution, I have taken down my Google Drive link. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Hopefully I can get my account back from the hacker, but it's going to be difficult.

1/ Medicat permet de booter sur une machine avec la clé, peut importe l'OS donc cela répond a la question pour Linux! Après je suis pas assez calé avec Mac donc ... je ne sais pas un peu special ces petites bêtes.
2/Qu'entends tu par le connecteur de ton pavé tactile? On parle de pilote ?? Ou d'un connecteur physique ? La question est pas claire!
3/Non bien qu'il existe des releases anterieur a MEDICAT tu disposes la de toute la panoplie développé par [emoji250]JAYRO[emoji250]!!!
