Copied the VHD file to Ventoy boot location (' BOOTIMGS' folder in the main drive, in my case), alongside the already existing ' ventoy' folder with at least ' ventoy_vhdboot.img' in it.Stopped the VM without proceeding any further.Let WindowsToGo setup finish inside the VM up to the point where OOBE (" Windows Out Of Box Experience") pops its first question.Setup a discardable VirtualBox (see c.), ran it and attached the recently created VHD file to a new Windows 10 virtual machine ( VM). Booted up Linux Mint from a Ventoy liveUSB pendrive (see b.).Used Rufus and a Windows 10 ISO to setup WindowsToGo to that VHD in MBR Mode.Used ' diskmgmt.msc' to create a static size 32GB VHD (don't forget to initialize and format it to NTFS also see a., below).It took me some time - be warned this is a lenghty procedure - but I've now tested his solution in two different systems (desktop and laptop) and everything worked fairly well.įTR, let me recall here what I did, after booting Windows 10 normally (which I already run off a VHD, as detailed in my previous post): Many thanks to meilon for posting about this solution. It always fails after getting devices ready with "Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Now after formatting the Ventoy partition as NTFS at least the system tries to boot from vhdx, but sadly, I can't get any configuration of vhd/vhdx, mbr/gpt and dynamic/fixed to boot completely in either legacy or uefi mode. Thank you both! I read in the forum post linked in the issue the very important line (thanks to Google Translate): VHD(X) boot currently only supports dual NTFS or dual exFAT combinations, and does not support outer NTFS+in exFAT or outer exFAT+in NTFS combination. You need to manually format the first partition of your USB drive as NTFS after installing Ventoy for Windows to boot. It all makes me very wary of this vendor.(04-08-2021, 12:54 PM)Midas Wrote: [ -> meilon: I haven't tested any of it but you pointed at the problem yourself - Windows will not boot off an exFAT partition, which Ventoy uses by default.
