This is easiest with the GUI. You want to ./VentoyGUI.x86_64. Make sure nothing else is trying to access the medium in the meantime.

#

And do check if you are using GPT. You only want MBR for legacy stuff that explictly needs it.

Debian ISOs traditionally are only installers. They do offer a live ISO now, but you have to specifically select it.

tawny plume i tried other distros like linux lite manjaro and mint xfce and it worked fine a...

cuz u got the net-installer image

#

and while you can install (quite well) that way, u can find live cd/hybrid images called livecd on their site, did u get Ventoy to set up good on your USB?

#

is there a reason why there is the third folder here

#

system volume information is some windows filesystem folder thing

#

windows always makes it on filesystems

#

it is usually hidden on windows though

#

just ignore it

tawny plume

That usually only exists on NTFS partitions and contains housekeeping data for the filesystem that is not meant for users to access. +1 for ignoring it.

#

ah ok

#

now it kind of makes since, i plugged it into my Desktop that only has windows on it and i think right after then is when i noticed that file popping up on ventoy

Yes, Windows creates this on NTFS partitions. Actually a sign by which you can tell if Windows created an NTFS partition or something else did.

I've seen it made on non-NTFS flash drives whenever they get plugged in to any Windows 10 or higher pc
