Bootable USB to ISO

[laicon188]

I make a bootable USB via DiskCryptor. Does anyone know how to make a bootable ISO from a bootable USB?

I really would value it if someone could provide instructions for us so we can build our own 64bit iso for diskcrypt? There is only a 32bit iso available from searching online but this will not work with 64bit system.

Many of us like using Ventoy and just dropping all our ISOs in there because they run so easy without having to install so much to our mutliboot pendrives. When Windows 11 chooses to overwrite the bootloader it would be nice to have this as an option as Ventoy boots so much easier than the "Bootloader Config" Install Loader. Would be nice to have the option for users to create their own iso from the program instead of just writing to random usbs.

I also tried to figure out "Install shim" for WIndows 11 secure boot but was very confusing so after mountains of searching online I collapsed.

Anyhow, catch you later. Thanks again

Hmmm, to answer your question. Well, I suppose we could create an image of the pendrive with an old program like ImgBurn but I feel personally that all my pendrives are too big for this as I would be making a very large image for such a small program. Hopefully I can find a small penddrive somewhere. imgburn.com might work. I don't know as I haven't used it in forever.

I've used gparted on various live linux distros in the past to resize but that may or may not be a solution as I've heard it can corrupt the image from booting properly. I've resized things many times myself in the past just never for booting so I can't verify that it causes problems. It might work

Hopefully these new folks who have taken over the project can find a way to port Diskcryptor over to Linux and Mac, so that it can be more rounded.

I just tried to create one here. I haven't tested it yet. But can you recommend a place to share it online as I am not so savy with file uploading. Seems like I find broken links all the time online these days so I'd hate to go through the trouble of uploading it to somewhere unreliable for the longer term. Advise?

Bad news my dear friends. I made an ISO image of a 3GB usb drive I found -- after installing Diskcryptor 64bit. However, while it loaded perfectly two different Ventoy usb thumbdrives, they both give me the same error as the older iso I had formerly labeled a 32bit version. Turns out that it might not had been a 32bit version after all as the error code is the same:

Anybody understand this error better than I?

Error Message: "No bootfile found for UEFI" "Maybe the image does not support x64 UEFI"

I have used these thumbdrives many times on 64bit version without problems, but for some reason I can not make a ISO that works with Ventoy. So strange.

Yea so it will run if it's burned to one pendrive but what a waist of a whole pendrive just for one program. Anyhow, if you want me to upload it just tell me where.

[gittmin]

I would like to save others time if I can share the file. I just don't know the guidelines about where to share on here.

[gittmin]

Oh, and secured boot would have to be turned off when ever running this one as I could not figure out how to make it work with secured boot.

[gittmin]

I will keep this iso file here for a couple of days but if no one writes back after a week I will erase it.

I ended up making it pretty small.
