Hi Jayro, I have a question, I would appreciate if you can answer, thank you.

"Why should MediCat USB be formatted as NTFS File system?
Ventoy formats it as exFAT, and exFAT is a newer generation system."
--
That's what I'm wondering
My language is a bit bad, sorry for that, but I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say, I love and appreciate your work, I hope you reach better places, this software you created is very useful for me, you made my work very easy, thank you very much for everything, take it easy, have a nice day, I wish you a good day look very well.

NTFS is known to be more reliable. NTFS also supports journaling so it can recover from crashes and power loss without losing or corrupting data. I have my medicat stick set up as per instructions with NTFS and it's perfect, stable and compatible with everything I need to use it on

It uses NTFS for reliability and compatibility of booting older ISO images. Not everything works on a exFAT formatted drive.

Hi! Using exFAT on 4 pen-drives and 1TB PCIE SSD connected through portable USB 3.1gen2 case since last year and got no problems at all. Can You send me information which tools or parts of Ur fantastic set do not work so I can verify if is necessary to switch to NTFS ?

It's mostly the older BIOS-only ISOs that really have a fuss with it.

The Clonezilla app is included within Parted Magic, which is on MediCat USB. and yes, there's a few GRUB repair discs on here too under the "Boot Repair" menu.

Is there any chance to get a new edition of Medicat USB
Or is this project dead?

The project is still very much alive and a new version of Medicat USB is on the way soon.

Okay. Perhaps it will be a good idea to have a look at -f-c-p-o-r-t-a-b-l-e-s-.-c-o-m to find additional stuff.
Discard "-" and enjoy. Because I am a Newcomer I have some restrictions for the first posts...

You have to run the Ventoy installer on the USB first.

I've had issues running several apps in Mini 10 since the most recent update. R-Drive Image in particular gives me the error "0x8007007e The specified module could not be found" while specifying no module and generating no log to debug with.

I've tried on a freshly formatted USB drive with a brand new copy of Medicat several times with no luck.
