Review How to boot multiple OS from a single USB

I find myself constantly making bootable USB drives and juggling between different ISO. Each time I have to format the USB and write a new ISO. What if I could have multiple ISO on a single USB? Today I am going to show you how.

Excellent tool, easily use multiple tools(multiple distros, recovery tools etc) in one usb.

Edit- ventoy creates a 32mb efi boot partition on the usb, to remove that use ‘remove ventoy’ from ventoy exe. Found out when just formatting the ventoy partition for isos didn’t remove the ventoy boot detection.

That is an excellent tip!

Just copy all the ISO to the Ventoy partition on the USB

That's the first thing I do on any new external drive. Set up ventoy EFI and then format the rest of the drive to use it as is so that the entire disk is available for use. When needed, add the ISO files, persistent image and configure the JSON. You can of course use Yumi if doing things manually is a chore.
