Issue

It's not possible to use Ventoy partition images at all, Ventoy will not boot. This issue affects not only MBR, but also GPT, I've tried both. Apparently all GPT disks contain an MBR sector at LBA0 as do all legacy MBR disks. (thanks steve6375).

I could reproduce this issue not only on a USB flash drive, but also on a NVMe hard disk, and a SATA SSD hard disk.

Proposed solution

Add "Did you restore Ventoy partitions manually? LBA 0 contains byte 0 but byte 0x1BD is expected. To perform a non-destructive installation, please read https://ventoy.net/en/doc_non_destructive.html"

@steve6375 I added a Proposed solution section to the top post. Do you agree that it would be useful? Can you suggest an improved solution?
