Official MediCat USB - A Multiboot Linux USB for PC Repair

[Jayro]

MediCat v20.06 is now released!

It comes with the Ventoy 1.0.12 update and supports .WIM file booting, which I find to be a little quicker on my USB 3.0 drive and also saves a fair amount of disk space. The changelog is in the download links on page 1! I've fixed a few issues that people brought to my attention, and some of the BIOS-only bootable files have been rebuilt to boot from 64-bit UEFI! (Malwarebytes Bootable being one of them! ) The Main Menu now supports a native 1920x1080 wallpaper, as does the new Malwarebytes Bootable and Mini Windows 10. I rebuild Malwarebytes nearly from scratch, so it is now on a 64-bit image and UEFI bootable for current machines. The virus definitions are also updatable and persistent, once you're online with it. There's many other changes, but you should really check out the chagelog for the full list!

Have you considered adding the torrent as a magnet link on the drives also? it would make it easier to download when the data quota is exceeded.

Great release btw.

hi everyone! sorry about this question but... i just realize that the bin file in 20.05.01 version have 33.5GB of free space when i mount the bin file.
why is that? can it be change to have that "free space available but maintaining all the iso and programs or is there a very good reason to leave as it is?! thanks a lot

ps: downloading the new version 20.06

Hello !
I encounter a problem.
After creating the Medicat, dropping my ISOS in it and booting in UEFI, when I boot on the Official Windows 10 2004 ISO for installation, they ask me for a missing driver.
Do you know how to solve this ?
Thank you for your works !

No problem, I made some new download buttons, and added the magnet link to the front page!
And unless ventoy releases an update that boots .img files, I'm taking a break on this for a bit. I'm just taking advantage of the free unlimited bandwidth my ISP has given me until the end of the month.

Hi Jayro,

Thanks for the update.
Could we have a full changelog (or old changelog in a separate folder) ?

For example, to know change from 20.05 to 20.05.01, ect...
I often write some article about your tools and need more information to explain what are the change about old version of medicat.

Thanks again for all and take care of you

Good Day all. If any one tried to put Kon-Boot and had any success please let me know how.

Color me confused. Whenever I hit the Magnet Link button or for that matter any of the buttons, I start a slideshow. Flash is allowed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

The links seem to be broken. Point to the thumbsize instead of download link

I hate to be dense but "thumbsize".

 

[Squid_Man]

I agree. The links just point to the .png's and unable to download.

That's really weird, GBATemp won't let me fix links to pictures anymore..? They should probably fix that. Anyway, I'm added a workaround, so the links should be fixed for now.

Fixed. When you want to assign a link to an image, use the full sized image, not the thumbnail version.

@Jayro can you please do a little favor:

- on your hard disk, duplicate your Medicat folder
- remove every freeware .iso or alike which everybody could download themselves and just put into the appropriate spot as is/ without modification
- 7zip that folder up with max. compression

How many GB do you get?

I'm not home right now to test this, but what are you getting at?

DiskGenius

Thanks for the hint and yes DiskGenius looks awesome but for the hell of me it can't resize the first partition since the EFI partition is directly behind it.
I tried to create a new partition exactly 32.0 MBs at the end of the drive the cloned the EFI drive on it. Then I deleted the original EFI and all went smooth.
Now I am stuck on resizing the primary partition and it errors out as the following. "some free clusters are marked as used in $bitmap. Cluster number: 2"

I tested this 128 GBs USB flash several times and it has no errors and I do not understand the meaning of this error.

I do have a 64 GBs USB 3 Flash but I wanted to do it on my spare 128 GBs better since my personal Portable Apps folders is around 70+ GBs on its own and I do need to add a couple of my own Images (Also testing with KON-Boot )
Sure hope any advise and cheers all.

Hello, I ran into a strange problem.
I just downloaded the files using the magnet link on the drive. I just checked the 3 different hashes for every downloaded archive part and each of them is right. When I try tu extract the binary file, I get an error saying that archive part 001 is corrupted. Can someone help me with this?

If you wish to contact me you can add me on discord: Captn138#0505 but tell me here so I will accept you

This is what it looks like with 7-zip and WinRar

winrar error is in french. Litteral translation is: "Control sum error in ...\medicat.20.06.bin. The file is corrupted"


EDIT: I performed my actions with antivirus disabled
