After install, the 1st partition will be formated in exFAT, and you can manually reformat it with FAT32/NTFS/UDF/XFS/Ext2/3/4ĭownload the installation package, like ventoy-x.x. and decompress it.MBR/GPT partition style option is used only during install and will be ignored during update.But at this time, you must be very careful and don’t choose the wrong disk. You can toggle the Show all devices option then all the disks will be listed. To prevent misoperation, Ventoy2Disk.exe only lists USB drives by default. Ventoy can be installed on USB drive or local disk.if Ventoy2Disk.exe always fail, you can use Ventoy LiveCD, refer notes.You must copy them to the upper directory to use them.

These exe files are in altexe directory of the installation package. Since 1.0.58, Ventoy also provides Ventoy2Disk_X64.exe/Ventoy2Disk_ARM.exe/Ventoy2Disk_ARM64.exe you can use them if needed. Notes: Ventoy2Disk.exe is a x86_32 application and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows PC with intel/amd processor. Run Ventoy2Disk.exe, select the device and click Install or Update button. I think the GUI from Mint was still in memory when Manjaro booted.Download the installation package, like ventoy-x.x.xx-windows.zip and decompress it. It's a bit wierd, but the GUI of Mint login screen somehow appeared during the GUI startup of Manjaro.

Then I booted the Manjaro live system by restarting. I had used Mint to paste Manjaro iso into Ventoy USB partition. Windows installation > bootup was successful. In fact, with logical partitioning, grub didn't appear, same symptoms as Manjaro). Linux Mint installation was successful (only with primary partitioning, logical partitioning failed to boot. Just copied the iso to the Ventoy partition again. This suggests the Manjaro live USB could be booted only once, which is a completely whacky phenomena. On deleting the iso from Ventoy partition and re-pasting the iso in Ventoy, Manjaro boots again.

I used the Boot Device Selection Menu to select the USB drive. Manjaro live USB didn't boot on next try. Only a blinking cursor appeared, that went away, leaving a black screen. didn't use Manjaro's suggestion of using 'bios-gpt' flag with a 8MB partition I opened the installer on boot, installed it on /dev/sda1 with following options: fs: 'ext4' It booted on the first try, and I selected 'Boot with proprietary drivers' (ATI Radeon 200 card).

I've downloaded Manjaro 21.1.6 XFCE iso and used Ventoy to boot it.
