in the compressed file there is no more .img file, only the individual folders and the Isos, how to create the pendrive?
Use Ventoy2Disk to create the flash drive.

Then format the drive as FAT32.

Then extract the zip's contents to the root of the drive, and you're all done. :)

Hi Jayro - thank you for these great tools.

One issue i am having is most of the different ISO's do not recognise the WiFi cards in my machines so i cannot do a definition update. I have tried this on a couple of laptops and desktops and it doesn't work on any?

Is this normal?

Yeah, it's normal. The ISOs typically all use old versions of Linux, and the manufacturers don't keep them updated. Sadly, antivirus bootdisks are becoming a thing of the past it seems.

Your C drive isn't your M.2? It should be possible.

Hi again, Jayro...
You told me in another reply about replacing the old ISOs in the USB with the newest ones:

"Yes, you can update the ISOs by replacing them with new versions. But if you don't edit ventoy.json to match, their icons won't show up. Not a huge deal, but worth mentioning."

What would happen if I keep the same name for old and new Isos? Would there be any problem?

Thanks in advance

I just found out about MediCat USB thanks to Alternative-To, and from the main post I have discovered this second one and just tried it. I leave my message just to thank for this amazing compilation of apps on a live system. It really beats Hiren's BCD, Ultimate BCD and all the other WinPE system with utilities I've known so far. Great job Jayro ;)

Seems like this cannot be downloaded from the main post links, and this proyect is not in the official Medicat page. Is it discontinued? Having more than just malwarebytes to scan a computer is nice...

The MEGA account it was hosted on got deleted by MEGA themselves, and I just keep forgetting to reupload the file and fix the link. I'll do it when I'm off work.

The MEGA Link has been fixed. Just make a Ventoy USB like you normally would, and then extract the 7zipped contents to the root of the USB like you would for making a MediCat USB drive.

Legacy BIOS booting only, no UEFI.
