Ventoy USB Install and ISO Copy | Generated by AI
Plan — Ventoy + Flash Windows ISO
ISO Found
/home/lzw/Downloads/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso (7.9G)
USB Target
/dev/sdb (14.6G USB) ← currently has old Windows installer
⚠️ Critical Warning
Installing Ventoy to /dev/sdb will erase everything on it — the current EFI and WIN11 partitions will be destroyed. Your old USB content will be gone.
Step-by-Step
| Step | Action | Command |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Download Ventoy | wget https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/latest/download/ventoy-1.1.05-linux.tar.gz |
| 2 | Extract | tar xzf ventoy-*.tar.gz && cd ventoy-* |
| 3 | Confirm USB is /dev/sdb |
lsblk |
| 4 | Install Ventoy to USB | sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb |
| 5 | Copy ISO | cp ~/Downloads/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso /media/$USER/Ventoy/ |
| 6 | Sync & eject | sync then unplug |
After step 4, the USB becomes a Ventoy disk. You just copy the ISO file onto it — no extraction, no partition fiddling. Multiple ISOs can coexist.
Confirm you want to proceed? The current USB data will be wiped.
