For the Windows 10 mini OS. Is it possible to get the logs or debug when it stops booting up? I do want to use the Windows 10 mini OS of Medicat on my main PC and i want to help resolve it.

Hi,

Can someone start seeding the torrent please? I'm missing 4MB to finish!

Thank You.
I haven't stopped seeding, and there's many people on it right now uploading and downloading. I don't see why the last chunk wouldn't finish for you. Maybe have your torrent client do a re-check on the file.

I've made a 64GB version, it's uploading now. Compressed, it's about 30GB, and I've split the files into 4GB chunks again for those who don't use torrents. The new torrent will also be split, for better hash checking.

I've titled this one v20.05.1, appended as a "bug fix" version. It's been expanded to 64GB, leaving over 30GB for the user to add their desired ISO images. It also boots up instantly now, no long 7 second delay of a black screen. I've added a few more ISOs as well. Uploading is gonna take a while, so maybe 6 or 7 hours from now the files on Mega and GDrive will go live. I can make the torrent ready immediately though.

What Google Drive link I should use now to download smaller, 32GB version?
I managed to download only 3 parts of it and I'm still missing the other 2.
I do not have 64GB pendrive and I do not have access to torrents so I need this on Google Drive, just like it was before.

Thank you for releasing the new update for this utility. I have a question though, do I need to purchase a new 64GB or larger flash drive to use it, or is it possible to get it to fit on a 32GB drive by removing files from the bin image?

Thank you, it's very appreciated!
My upload speed is only 40Mb/s up, double from what it was, but still kind of slow. So thank you.

You can definitely extract the files and overwrite them. You just need to give the EFI partition a drive letter.

Google drive never works for me. Even downloading just one part it says: "Download quote exceeded for this file, so you can't download at this time". If possible please use another provider. There are plenty out there.

1. Right click -> Make a copy
2. Go to "My Drive"
3. Right click -> Download
4. Right click -> Remove
5. Profit

Hi,

Many thanks for this new version.
Where is the changelog ?
Shit, I knew I forgot something. :creep:

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Hello, after downloading all the files I can't find the famous "BIN file" to include in "IMAGE USB"
You have to open the 001 file using 7zip, and extract it somewhere. The rest of the files will extract by themselves, so only do 001.

Hello,

-Install Ventoy to the drive.
-Open Medicat's .bin file with 7-zip.
-Extract the ISOs you want.
-Extract all of the EFI files from the EFI partition.
-Put the ISO files you chose onto the FAT partition of your stick.
-Open MiniTool Partition Wizard (or Windows Disk Manager) and give the EFI partition of your stick a drive letter.
-Then overwrite all the stick's EFI files with the MediCat ones.
-Removing the drive letter of the EFI partition afterwards is completely optional, and doesn't affect the functionality of the drive in any way.

And thank you for your seeding! :)
