Maak een opstartbare USB-stick met Ventoy

Ventoy is een opensource tool die van een USB-stick een "multiboot" station maakt zonder dat je de stick telkens opnieuw hoeft te formatteren. In tegenstelling tot traditionele tools (zoals Rufus of Etcher), installeer je Ventoy één keer op de stick, waarna je simpelweg ISO-, WIM- of EFI-bestanden naar de schijf kunt slepen in je bestandsverkenner.

Vereisten

  • een USB-stick (alle data hierop zal worden gewist)
  • een PC met Linux Mint 22
  • een internetverbinding

USB-stick voorbereiden

Plaats de USB-stick. Zoek je USB-stick op met lsblk. Tab output geeft in dit geval /dev/sdb aan, met 1 partitie /dev/sdb1; een oude Linux Mint USB-stick. Kijk goed naar de "size"; in dit voorbeeld is /dev/sda namelijk een harde schijf van 2,7T die je zeker niet wil wissen!

Unmount

De USB-stick (of beter de partitie daarop) is op dit moment nog gekoppeld (mounted) aan het bestandssysteem van Linux Mint. De partitie moet eerst ontkoppeld worden, alvorens het installatiescript kan worden uitgevoerd.

Installatie

Voer de installatie uit. Vervang /dev/sdX door de juiste letter van jouw stick! Gebruik nooit het partitienummer zoals de 1 in bv. sdb1!

ISO's toevoegen

Zodra de installatie klaar is, verwijder je de USB-stick en plaats je die opnieuw. Je ziet in je bestandsbeheerder (en/of op het bureaublad) een nieuwe schijf verschijnen met de naam Ventoy. Het enige wat je nu nog moet doen, is je gedownloade .ISO bestanden (bv. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Windows, ...) simpelweg naar deze schijf kopiëren. Je hoeft daarna niets uit te pakken; Ventoy leest de ISO's direct bij het opstarten.

Kopiëren naar een USB-stick

Je kan altijd via de GUI bestanden kopiëren, maar de voortgangsbalk van de bestandsverkenner kan echter verdwijnen vóórdat de data fysiek op de stick staat. Klik altijd op Unmount in de zijbalk en wacht op de melding dat de schijf veilig verwijderd kan worden. Beter nog: gebruik rsync met de --fsync parameter vanaf de Terminal.

In dit voorbeeld wordt de stick automatisch gemount onder /media/guru/Ventoy en kopiëren we een aantal ISO bestanden van onder /home/guru/Downloads/ISO/. Vervolgens wordt de stick ontkoppeld en kan die verwijderd worden.

Booten

Start de PC op die je wenst te installeren. Ga naar het Boot Menu (meestal F9, F12, Esc, ...) en kies de USB-stick. Je krijgt nu een mooi menu te zien waar je kunt kiezen welke ISO je wilt opstarten.
