You simply copy the ISO files to the USB drive without any additional steps, and it can be booted directly. Ventoy supports a wide range of ISO files, including Micro PE, Lao Mao Tao, Da Bai Cai, and many others. It provides a menu for selecting the desired ISO file during startup, and it supports both Legacy BIOS and UEFI modes. Ventoy has been tested with over 742 different ISO files, making it compatible with various operating systems such as Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, Deepin, Fedora, and more.
It is important to note that in UEFI mode, the krd.iso file has signature verification enabled by default. However, Ventoy performs certain hook actions during startup, which may be blocked by the signature verification. Therefore, in UEFI mode, you need to enter the command line by pressing “c” at the Kaspersky startup menu, execute the command “set check_signatures=no”, press “ESC” to return, and then continue the startup process.
