Ventoy Windows 11 USB Plan | Generated by AI
Everything is ready. Here’s the full step-by-step plan:
Full Plan: Ventoy v1.1.17 → Windows 11 USB
Current State
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| USB device | /dev/sdb (14.6G) |
| ISO | ~/Downloads/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso (7.9G) |
| Ventoy | /tmp/ventoy-1.1.17/ (extracted) |
| USB partitions | Unmounted ✅ |
⚠️ This will erase everything on /dev/sdb
The current EFI/WIN11 partitions will be destroyed.
Steps (in order)
| Step | Command |
|---|---|
| 1. Install Ventoy | sudo /tmp/ventoy-1.1.17/Ventoy2Disk.sh -i /dev/sdb |
| 2. Confirm | Type y when prompted |
| 3. Wait for completion | ~10 seconds |
| 4. Copy ISO | cp ~/Downloads/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso /media/$USER/Ventoy/ |
| 5. Verify | ls /media/$USER/Ventoy/ → should show the .iso file |
| 6. Sync & eject | sync && sudo umount /media/$USER/Ventoy |
After Step 4 — Ventoy Features Unlocked
- ✅ No 4GB FAT32 limit — Ventoy uses
exFATsoinstall.wimfits natively - ✅ Multi-ISO — can drop more ISOs (Linux, rescue disks, etc.)
- ✅ Persistence — supports persistent storage for Linux ISOs
- ✅ Legacy + UEFI — works with both BIOS modes
For Lenovo Xiaoxin specifically
After booting from USB → Ventoy menu → select the ISO → if installer doesn’t see the SSD, load Intel RST/VMD driver during disk selection screen.
Shall I proceed with Step 1 (install Ventoy to /dev/sdb)? This will wipe the current USB data.
