Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution

only works if you are already using windows and therefore can use diskpart/"mark as active", or you are booting from an extended uefi firmware with the appropriate drivers (e.g. dell).

I formatted the stick on ubuntu as NTFS and installed it on a new sdd. No windows used during the process. Don’t know if the MSI MoBo had appropriate drivers.

Or use something like rEFInd as intermediary firmware.

By the way, Rufus uses UEFI:NTFS [1]

> UEFI:NTFS is a generic bootloader, that is designed to allow boot from NTFS or exFAT partitions, in pure UEFI mode, even if your system does not natively support it. This is primarily intended for use with Rufus, but can also be used independently.
