Ventoy has been a popular utility for a while, allowing you to store multiple bootable ISO images<\/a> on a single USB drive. Now there\u2019s an update rolling out that makes it even better.<\/p>\n

Booting a PC into a Windows installer<\/a>, Linux distribution, or other CD\/USB image usually requires wiping a USB drive and overwriting it with one image at a time. That means using several USB drives if you want to keep around install\/recovery images for multiple operating systems. Ventoy solves this problem with a multi-boot setup \u2014 once it is installed on a USB drive, you can copy as many ISO images as you want to a single flash drive using any file manager, and then select the one you want at startup.<\/p>\n

Ventoy 1.0.84 was just released, which has two main changes. First, you can now switch languages in the boot menu by pressing the L key. The tool also now works with drives formatted as FAT32 with a capacity of 32 GB or more<\/a>. That means you can have more drives formatted as FAT32, ensuring they work for transferring files with just about any operating system, while also using them as a multi-boot drive. However, FAT32 can\u2019t store files larger than 4 GB in size<\/a>, which might not be enough for some bootable system images.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about Ventoy and try it out from the project\u2019s official website<\/a>. I\u2019ve been using it for a while, and not having to constantly overwrite flash drives (or use a special writing tool each time) is definitely handy.<\/p>\n
