    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    You say that because you've tried and it didn't work or because you believe Ventoy doesn't have support for it? I ask this because in ventoy's docs says there is support, although I have never tried

    @Jayro I believe that to update to the new version of Ventoy you just need to download the installer for Linux and extract the contents of the file ventoy.disk.img.xz to the VTOYEFI partition, not replacing your modifications of the theme. Then you compress it again and upload it here for us to...

    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    If you are familiar with the Linux terminal, you can follow this tutorial to install Ventoy on an MBR disk without the need to format it. If not, I recommend you do it the conventional way (less chance of giving sh*t): get another disk that you can format, install Ventoy and then move the ISOs...

    Please elaborate the difference between "UEFI" and "UEFI-GPT", I am curious

    Don't use a bug in your hardware as a universal truth. UEFI can boot NTFS (if not, Windows would not boot????). And Ventoy (and therefore Medicat) uses the MBR partition table (instead of GPT) to maintain compatibility with Legacy BIOS. If you are really sure that your computer does not boot...

    You need to read the forum first. Move all files of the ExFAT partition to another drive and then use some partition program to delete the ExFAT partition and create a NTFS partition using all the avaliable space. Then just move the files back

    As you said, the AIO Boot project is abandoned. If you want the possibility to boot directly from .vhd or .img disk copies (like the current Medicat itself), you can use the Grub2 File Manager. You just need to add the multiarch iso to Medicat (Ventoy bootloader) and use it to boot into the...

    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    If you remove the header from the image using skip=1 when creating the new image, then the skip=1 parameter will not be necessary when installing the image back to a device. Edit: I just realized that if you use the USB stick as an input to the dd command, then there will be no header to jump...

    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    The program Jayro used to create the bin image, ImageUSB, adds its own 512 byte header to the image, which removes the image's compatibility with other programs. To do the installation using dd, you just need to skip the header, with the command "dd if=binfile of=usbstickblockdevice skip=1...

    Yes, Linux is amazing, I'm in love with it. I'm testing a new distro every week, although Linux Mint remains my favorite. If you are going to do tests creating images of devices with large partitions (but you know that a lot of it is empty space) and you don't have much free space on another...

    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    I don't know on Windows, but on Linux it's pretty simple. After applying the resize and move in GParted, you can go to the information of the EFI partition and use the value of the last sector as one of the parameters of the command to create the image, along with the full path of the block...

    Jayro, I ask you again to reconsider the current distribution format of Medicat. We have to download 35.3GB of compressed files, extract to a 57.3GB image and when installing it we find that there is only 22.6GB of uncompressed content. What I recommend is: 1. Stop using ExFAT as the default...

    Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

    My thoughts on how to improve the Medicat installation method: 1. Create the primary partition's filesystem, in the case ExFAT, as small as possible, just enough to hold all Medicat files, thus making Medicat fit in the smallest USB stick possible (currently 32GB). 2. Get rid of this strange bin...
