The fact that it even gets that far is amazing as an XP iso written to a USB drive with Rufus or Etcher will not boot at all. I haven't tested versions of XP which have SATA drivers slipstreamed in yet and that could be the limiting factor. Gandolf's WinPE ISOs are also a problem as I can only seem to get the 32bit versions to fully boot, however none of the included utilities will load with it(it complains about a missing drive 'Y' in the logs). These problems also seem to be system specific as the problems being encountered are different depending on which system I test on. Again, it should be noted that most of the ISO's I'm fiddling about with are not on the 'tested' list. PartedMagic works perfectly as long as you choose one of the 'run from RAM' options at boot up. Windows 7 installs work perfectly as does Windows 10. Installed several versions of both and the tested systems boot to desktop after installation, no issues. There also the fact that Ventoy is using exFAT for it's default filesystem. I wonder if that might be playing a factor in the problems being experienced.
