Easy2boot vs ventoy11/14/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Nothing makes it possible to boot pure UEFI ISO's in Ventoy on my x250. UPDATE: Downgraded my BIOS till 1.27 (the 2017 version) and Ventoy down to 1.0.67. Will post an update on this if I succeed (hopefully). If someone tries to solve this issue just like I'm trying (will probably downgrade the BIOS eventually), my UEFI BIOS Version is N10ET63W (1.42), the UEFI BIOS Date is (YYYY-MM-DD). We seriously need more bootloader freedom on computers, clearly the computer 'companies' are as always not doing their job they are getting paid for. Like everyone else said here when booting legacy all ISO's work just fine, Windows or Linux, normal boot or other methods. My USB is an MBR partitioned and Secure boot enabled one, but of course on my computers Secure Boot is disabled. Before that in UEFI only mode I was able to boot Linux ISO's in normal mode too, and Windows ISO's all worked fine whether wimboot or normal mode. ![]() This all happened after updating my BIOS after 2-3 years last week. ![]() When booting UEFI only, I can boot all Linux ISO's (only in grub2 mode), but WinPE and Windows based ones are not working in normal, wimboot or memdisk mode.

Use Windows native bootloader (Legacy + UEFI) + boot圆4. Recently found Ventoy, which was nice and easy to use (just format stick and copy across your ISOs) but not all the ISOs were bootable. Features Directly boot from disk, no additional memory needed (Legacy + UEFI) There is no need to read the whole wim file to memory for both Legacy BIOS and UEFI. Otherwise, anyone got an easy-to-use multiboot USB builder? I've tried Easy2Boot, WinSetupFromUSB, Sardu and Yumi (as well as XBoot, which wouldn't see my drive) of late and they all kinda work, but not flawlessly and some ISOs take an age to load. Don't suppose anyone knows of anything similar apart from the iODD (apparently the original version of the Zalmans) and StarTech equivalents, which are just as rare/pricey?
