#Veracrypt external drive Pc#
I have not tried it on a PC that does not do EFI boot to check if it still works, I don't happen to have one around that does not also do EFI. I am not sure if it leverages them into a EFI boot or really boots them as Legacy boot.

It shows in the Legacy boot menu of the computers boot menu and actually - somehow - boots the ISO files just fine. When I boot to Ventoy I get a small menu of my 4 root ISO files and a submenu called ISO to which I can quickly navigate and launch my other less used ISO files.įor the occasional MBR boot you can still use Ventoy, It's a bit wonky at times but works pretty reliable on my USB sticks which are setup as MBR partitions. I have 4 ISO files in the root of the 1st partition and the rest stored in a subfolder named ISO, and into separate folders below that. For instance, I could separate out my WORK Macrium Reflect ISO files from my HOME ISO files. What I especially liked is that I can arrange the ISO files into whatever folders I want to to sort them by function, I was not limited to just the folders that E2B provides. I used the Ventoy tool VentoyPlugson.exe to change the default layout to TREE view and the interface to TEXT instead of the GUI, it boots fast, scans the drive for ISO files quickly and presents a nice simple view of my ISO files. Unlike AGFM it would scan for and find all the ISO files. I was more than pleased with the simplicity of it all.

So one Saturday afternoon I checked out the full Ventoy system out and used it on a spare USB stick. I always had to use Ventoy to boot to Windows installation ISOs. I used it with the Ventoy and AGFM extensions he introduced but you still had to boot to AGFM to get to Ventoy, and it seems that Ventoy booted everything that I needed. I've used E2B since Steve first introduced it years ago With the decline of MBR booting the E2B itself has become less and less useful. G4D has a UEFI loader called G4E, I wonder why the E2B maintainer hasn't added it to the mix of available options. Then I'll have to get used to booting stuff in UEFI only. However, soon I'll be building a gaming desktop that will likely have a mobo that only support UEFI class 3, which means no legacy booting at all. That might work too, but I've never used it. I completely forgot that E2B also supports Ventoy, as well as al1ve's loader. If I need to get to a VC encrypted drive outside the OS I boot to WinPE and launch VC from it. I have a WinPE that boots off an ISO file, so I put the WinPE ISO on my Ventoy drive. I use VC for secondary drive / partition encryption.
Put your ISO files for the VC recovery onto the 1st partition named Ventoy, the actual EFI partition that Ventoy loads with is hidden. This will destroy the contents of the USB drive.

Download Ventoy and run the Ventoy2Disk.exe. If you have a spare USB stick just give it a try, it's one of the easiest multibooters to setup out there. I would imagine that Ventoy would work just fine booting to the VC ISO files, it has not failed me yet on various ISOs I've booted to. As with ANY OS, especially encrypted ones, make backups regularly. I use VeraCrypt, but I do not use it to encrypt my OS partitions, I've had to many problems with stuff like Windows updates messing it up. If you need to boot in UEFI mode, then there is not enough information on the VeraCrypt Rescue Disk page for me to provide any help or advice. iso files (one for each image - and I'm guessing here). menu.lst entry -Īssuming you have 2 veracrypt.
I've never used Veracrypt, however based on a quick look here, recovery/rescue media for MBR type disks uses GRUB4DOS.īased on a quick look at the menu.lst entry in VeraCryptUsbRescueDisk.zip, it should be relatively easy to create a rescue disk with entries for 2 veracrypt.
