Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them...
Ventoy is different from other bootable USB creation tools in that it does not extract the ISO files to the USB drive. Instead, it simply copies the ISO files to the USB drive and uses GRUB to manage the boot process. This makes Ventoy much faster than other bootable USB creation tools, and it also means that you can have multiple ISO files on a single USB drive without having to worry about running out of space.
Ventoy is compatible with both MBR and GPT partition tables, and it supports both Legacy BIOS and UEFI boot methods. It can also be used to create bootable USB drives for both x86 and ARM-based systems.

1. Download Ventoy:
- Download the latest version of Ventoy for your operating system (Windows, Linux, or macOS).

- On Linux: Extract the Ventoy archive and navigate to the "ventoy2disk.sh" script in the extracted folder. Open a terminal, navigate to the folder with the script, and run it with the appropriate permissions (e.g., `sudo ./ventoy2disk.sh -I /dev/sdX`, where "/dev/sdX" is your USB drive).
- On macOS: Extract the Ventoy archive, open a terminal, navigate to the extracted folder, and run the "install.sh" script with appropriate permissions (e.g., `sudo ./install.sh /dev/diskX`, where "diskX" is your USB drive).
4. Copy ISO Files:
- After Ventoy is installed, simply copy your ISO files to the USB drive. You can organize them in folders if you want, but Ventoy will work with ISO files stored directly on the drive as well.
5. Boot from the Ventoy USB Drive:
- Insert the Ventoy USB drive into the computer you want to boot from.
- Restart or power on the computer and access the boot menu (usually by pressing a key like F2, F12, or Del during startup).
- From the boot menu, select the Ventoy USB drive as the boot device.
- Ventoy will display a menu that lists all the ISO files you copied to the drive. Use the arrow keys and Enter to select and boot into the desired operating system or utility.
6. Using Ventoy:
- Once you've booted into an ISO file, you can use it as if you had booted from a separate installation medium.
7. Updating Ventoy:
- Periodically check the Ventoy website for updates, and if a new version is available, download it and repeat the installation process on your USB drive to keep Ventoy up to date.
