i tried this installation ventoy to dev/sdb successfully finished (in my case pen drive sdb)
all are ok but when i copy ISO files to the usb pendrive its not booting any operating system directly opening my host operating system i changed booting priority to usb only even its not booting why its so?

But HOW do you copy the iso's to the first partition? Without mounting it doesn't work. And you can't mount /dev/sdb1 in read-write, so what exactly are you supposed to do? The Arch wiki doesn't say anything, and the ventoy docs don't say anything that I can find either.

For example, on my machine, I ran:
sudo ventoy -I /dev/sda -r 50000
Which installed ventoy with 3 partitions: The normal ventoy partition, the hidden 30mb ventoy partition, and 50gb of unallocated space at the end.

Then, create a new folder called ventoy
Unzip the ventoy_vhdboot.zip file you downloaded, and locate the .img file (ventoy_vhtboot.img)
Copy the ventoy_vhdboot.img into this folder.
Make a new text file named ventoy_grub.cfg and also place it in the ventoy folder, with these contents:

I am wanting to manually install ventoy boot UEFI files to a "UFD" in windows to run a multiboot windows/linux iso environment;that being said i have attempted to use the "point and click" method of installing ventoy uefi boot files to a UFD with invalidation (idk...usb is not ready error??) errors so would like to know how i may install (manually mind you!!)the main "VENTOYEFI" boot files/folders to the USB so that i may add the payload iso files to choose from:windows setup/PE,Linux Live DIstros etc..

However, if you would like to learn more about Ventoy and how to use the ventoy.json configuration file, learn what are the best options to use when creating your Ventoy drive, learn how to boot ISO and other payload files from Partition 3 of the Ventoy drive, run Linux files with persistence, automate the installation of Windows, install Windows 11 to a non-TPM system, create your own themes, etc, then it's all here!
Details are included on how to remove the Ventoy version menu string without needing to recompile are also included.

With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. You can copy many image files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way.
Both MBR and GPT partition style are supported in the same way.
Most type of OS supported(Windows/WinPE/Linux/Unix/ChromeOS/Vmware/Xen...)
730+ ISO files are tested (List). 90%+ distros in distrowatch.com supported (Details).

Oh I love it. I have a 128 GB usb stick with ventoy and loads of OS images like all the Garuda installers, Ubuntu Studio, Windows 10, Proxmox, System Rescue (or whatever it's called) and many others all on one USB stick attached to my keyring.
And it's also customizeable so you can change the menu, background and other things to make it look cool AF.
Recommend 100%.

How do you decompress the "ventoy-1.0.19-linux.tar.gz" file to your flash drive? It seems so difficult for me to do, and the help page at the Ventoy.net site did not help me at all....forgive my ignorance on this. I am making no success via Terminal.

Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them. You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them. x86 Legacy BIOS, IA32 UEFI, x86_64 UEFI, ARM64 UEFI and MIPS64EL UEFI are supported in the same way. Most types of OS supported (Windows/WinPE/Linux/ChromeOS/Unix/VMware/Xen...)

The errors in the screenshot are all about device-mapper drivers being missing. I've zero knowledge of ventoy or how it tries to boot things but perhaps something changed on their side. The errors about missing files will be correct because we don't have support for DM baked into our Linux kernels. Support will be present in most conventional distros, but it's nothing new for LE (and OE before) .. we've never had support.
