[Official] MediCat VHD - A USB Bootable Windows 11 Virtual Harddisk for PC Repair

[BastardFromNowhere]

Hello all,

I'd like to put "medicat.vhd" into the medicat usb key (thank you so much Jayro for these great tools !!), but I don't understand how to do it.
Jayro says "Extract ONLY the VHD folder to the MediCat USB drive, and make sure you have 20GB of free space. a minimum of 64GB USB 3.0 drive is required."
Like Beuzo already says : there's only a vhd in archive.. I tried several ways, but it doesn't work.. can someone help me please ?
have a good day everyone

Hi,

You just have to extract the VHD file in the VHD folder from your medicat USB key.

For sure you need space onto this usb file as recommended!

After making a USB using Ventoy, follow the instructions here: https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_vhdboot.html
Then put the VHD file on the USB and it should boot.

Hello everyone

I haven't been able to come back here before ...
Thank you very much Jayro for your help message, in fact I only saw it afterwards.

So, here is what I did: I started over with a new key, I installed ventoy 1.56 (the last release), I formatted the partition as NTFS, I unzipped the medicat.vhd file on the Ventoy partition of the key, I created a ventoy directory in the ventoy partition of the key, I put in this directory the file "ventoy_vhdboot" for windows 10 (windows10based). There is better compared to before because when I boot from the key, I have the Windows 11 logo and the little dots that turn to say wait. Except that it stays that way, it runs nonstop and nothing else happens.
I thought maybe the key is too slow so I did the same on a portable ssd. After the windows 11 logo, and the little dots spinning, I got a blue screen after a few moments with the message "VHD Boot initialized failed".
I hope I have been clear, because my English is light! I was very careful to follow the procedure and I do not understand why it does not work ..
Thanks if you can help me... and Good evening

Hello Jayro,

How to build a ".VHD".

Thanks very much.

I use Simple VHD Manager v1.4 to make mine. Fixed disk size, and .VHD file type. Then you can mount it from the program, and install Windows to it using Rufus. I recommend at least 40GB to use Windows 10/11 comfortably with a few apps installed.

Hello! Great job thanks fore your work !!
i have one quesdtion, what can i resize this vhd ? i have try different method but i give one error or 2 partitions and i cant fusionne it

 

[Jayro]

The only method that works for me is making a new VHD the size you want, and then mounting both and cloning the VHD to the new one.

Hello, sorry to bother you (and sorry for bad english, It's not my native language).

I would like to know if I can sell USB Flash Drives worldwide with "Medicat" and its logo (or a modified version of it) physically written on them and a modified version of MediCat USB pre-installed.

If yes, do I have to let the file "LICENSE.txt" unmodified at the root (sinced it's said that people who paid are scammed) ?

Can I create a company named "MediCat" or "MediCat USB" ?

Are "MediCat USB" and its logo Trademarked (Copyrighted) ?

Thank you for your consideration on that matter.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards.

I'm pretty sure that would be illegal. Please do not.

I own the copyright to MediCat USB, and do not want MediCat drives to be sold.
Thank you.

 

[Draylord]

Ok, no problem !

Thank you for your quick answer.

 

[Nakedfoxy]
