This is a 32GB USB drive's layout after install Ventoy in it (with 2GB reserved space).

Since 1.0.14, you can preserve some space at the bottom of the disk. This gap is used to hold the bootloader in Legacy BIOS system. This partition is very small and used by ventoy, so you better not change anything in this partition. These files are very small, so 32MB is enough.īesides, the EFI partition can be at part1 also, but I set it at part2 just because that in some version of Windows like Windows 7, only the first partition of the USB drive is visable to the system. So this partition is created to hold EFI boot file and other files nesscessy to Ventoy. There must be an EFI System Partition with FAT filesystem and that's the mandatory requirements of UEFI specifications. Download Latest Version Ventoy 1.0.95 release.zip (82.6 MB). It should be noted that, if you choose XFS/Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, the USB will be unavaliable on Windows and can not be used to install Windows.īut if you only use Linux that will be a good choice, because XFS/Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 will have better performance in Linux. This is an exact mirror of the Ventoy project. From Ventoy-1.0.11, you can reformat the 1st partition with other filesystem, exFAT/FAT32/NTFS/UDF/XFS/Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 are supported. exFAT has better compatibility on Windows/Linux/Mac and exFAT is suitable for USB stick. MBR is the only selection in order to support Legacy BIOS system.īy default, Ventoy select exFAT filesystem for the main partition to hold iso files. You can see that the whole disk was divided into 2 partitions in MBR format. Above is a 32GB USB drive's layout after install Ventoy in it.
