Oh nice, going to test this with my e2b/ag1fm stick and a separate one with Ventoy :3 :3

Thank you for this... this is quite handy for technicians like myself

This can be added to MediCat USB v21.01 (coming soon, today) by extracting the .VHD file to the VHD folder on the MediCat USB, as long as you have a 64GB stick with 20GB of free space. Boots in BIOS and UEFI modes.

Otherwise, I stripped down Ventoy so much that on a newly-made Ventoy drive, the VHD autoboots, and you don't even se a menu. :grog:

That's what I'm here for, to lay the ground work for Techs like us to build upon. :toot:

My medicat/ventoy usb is a 64gb stick and it still have plenty space left to be filled. My other stick is a 128gb stick, it does have a mix between e2b with ag1fm with ventoy (older version) just in case.

Jayro can you please check the size of the uploaded MediCat VHD 20H2 files?! There must be a mistake. Because my BitTorrent clients (BitComet, qBitTorrent) say that the total size of the files belonging to your Magnet link
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:39B66D6FB66C6011825B4BF137934D5B542EF3DD
is only 10.08 GiB, not 20.0 GiB.

It's 10GB compressed, but 20GB once extracted.

Jayro, thank you for the information.
It's pretty good compression too, considering I set 7-zip to use "Faster" compression, instead of Ultra. I think using Ultra is what causes my archives to sometimes get corrupted, so I've been using the faster methods instead.

Please JAYRO :
If we want to add MEDICAT_VHD to MEDICAT_USB, can you tell us if we should extract in the VHD folder (at the root of Medicat_USB) :
- The file [UEFI]_MediCat_VHD_&_DW.vhd (from Medicat_VHD)
or
- The 3 files contained in [UEFI]_MediCat_VHD_&_DW.vhd, i.e. :
-- 0.EFI System Partition.img
-- 1.Microsoft Reserved Partition.img
-- 2.Main Data Partition.img
Thank you for your response.

The [UEFI]_MediCat_VHD_&_DW.vhd is what you put in the VHD folder on the USB drive.

Don't extract anything else, or you will break the Ventoy menus.
