What happened?

When I select either en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f.iso or en_windows_10_enterprise_2016_ltsb_x64_dvd_9059483.iso from Ventoy on two old "Legacy" BIOS laptops, rather than booting into the image, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left. It just stays there forever and never loads anything.

I have not had this issue on any UEFI laptops, those just load the Windows installer immediately A-OK. However, I do have one laptop with a legacy mode BIOS that starts the flashing cursor but eventually loads the image after about one minute. It's only the other two legacy laptops that never load it (even after waiting hours).

On those two legacy laptops, I tried Wimboot mode (ctrl + w), but I get an error stating:

error: overflow is detected. Loading files...... xx%

Once it reaches 100% it does successfully load the Windows installer and I can proceed, but it is slow to get to 100% (maybe 5 to 10 minutes).

Does anybody know why I get the hanging cursor in the first case and why Winboot has an overflow error in the second case?

What happen if you press ctrl+i firstly and then select the ISO file to boot.

What happen if you press ctrl+i firstly and then select the ISO file to boot.

It works! It is still slow (I get the blinking cursor for about 60 to 120 seconds before the ISO loads), but it does load the Windows ISO eventually on both machines.

Do you know why it is so slow on all the legacy bios laptops? One to two minutes isn't that long of a wait, but it's a fair bit slower when comparing it to being essentially instantaneous on all the machines with a UEFI bios.

I'm having the same issue. ctrl+w to wimboot, get error: overflow is detected Loading files..... 100% then hangs.

ctrl+i to compatibility mode asks for nonexistent drivers, can't continue with installation.

If I'm lucky wimboot mode may get to installation, then I get stuck on the partition screen. I have Drive 0 Unallocated Space 111.8GB but can't select and click next - We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files.

We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files. Did you check the log files? SHIFT+F10 cd \windows\panther dir *.log

Maybe Drive 0 is not correct? Should be GPT if UEFI boot or MBR if legacy boot. Try DISKPART and select drive 0 and type CLEAN maybe?

In diskpart then list disk I have

Disk # Status Size Free Dyn Gpt Disk 0 Online 111 GB 111 GB Disk 1 Online 28 GB 0 B

Disk 0 looks like my SSD, Disk 1 is my Ventoy USB stick?

I've cleaned Disk 0 and converted both to GPT and MBR, still getting that installation partition error message.

steve6375 commented 2 years ago

so what do the log files say? Use Notepad and have a look. Search for the word 'error'

steve6375 commented 2 years ago

What exactly is the ISO? Are you using an XML file at all or anything to do with using a Product Key that you have changed/set?

It does not seem to think that the Product Key or Edition it is trying to install is correct for the system? Attach setupact.log file?

steve6375 commented 2 years ago

P.S. Maybe hard disk is bad. Could you replace it or try installing to a USB HDD and see if that starts to work?

Win10_21H2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso, I've tried an older 190x version as well.

Tried Windows 10 Media Creation Tool instead and sailed through without a hitch, so looks like this may be something localised to Ventoy.

ventoy commented 1 year ago

"Overflow is detected" is fixed in 1.0.80

MightyZizz commented 10 months ago

What happen if you press ctrl+i firstly and then select the ISO file to boot.
