NO !!!! I never told that.
you have misunderstood.
I'M nooby !!! saw that the previous answer of Steve was obvious but as I said on a post above : I'm tired
Sorry if I misspoke...
And I KNOW that Steve is the creator of E2B, that's why I ask him all his questions! You only have to read the last 2 pages of the topic

I have a few questions:
I am going to boot a Tails ISO from my iODD, install it to a USB flash drive, then make a disk image of that flash drive with RMPrepUSB. However, I plan to use persistence, so a 2nd partition will be needed, which the Tails installer creates. Can E2B boot this disk image containing multiple partitions? I think the iODD can do this on its' own, but I am not sure what file extension is needed.
When installing the latest beta E2B (as of last night) to a flash drive, the installer offers to create contig.iso in \_ISO\, but that file is nowhere to be found when I check for it. Maybe this is a bug?
Thanks!

see 'List of tested ISOs' page for details on any particular ISO.
The Contig.iso question asks you to enter an option, so it depends on what you entered.

Yes, I know you have to enter a # when the E2B installer wizard asks about contig.iso...and I did. This was a few days ago. But I tried again today with E2B9i beta, and a spare 8GB USB FDD. When it gets to the part about contig.iso, it doesnt matter whether i choose 0 (for none), 500, or any other # (naturally there must be enough free space so I account for that), contig.iso simply is not created. When I choose 500, I get the following:

Hi - yes sorry. It's a bug in CONTIG.ISO code.
line near 653 in Make_E2B_USB_Drive.cmd should be
set /a ask=!ask!+0
not
set /a ask=%ask%+0
will fix in next beta.

P.S. Found bug in recent grub4dos releases.
File must be contiguous even for a map command.
Older versions could use non-contiguous files.
See https://github.com/c...4dos/issues/233

I have problem with Pop OS iso. I downloaded the nvidia iso, copy the iso to my easy2boot flash drive and booted. It booted successfully and when i selected Pop OS menu entry it started loading the system components and when it reached 'starting gnome display manager', or something like that, it showed black screen. I couldn't drop to tty, or do anything else. I don't know if this is easy2boot issue or Pop Os iso issue, but i am unable to install Pop OS distro on my laptop.

Presumably your PC has nvidia graphics?
Are you MBR or UEFI-booting?
What is your PC?
Did you try the non-nvidia ISO?
Which ISO EXACTLY did you try?
How many other systems have you tested?
Did you try a Google search for known issues with your PC and Pop OS/nvidia?

I have reproduced issue using UEFI64 boot and pop-os_20.04_amd64_intel_13.iso
Ventoy shows same problem.

I just tested on a real system and it worked.
Maybe it looks for a USB drive and does not work in VBox which treats it as a HDD?

My laptop is HP Elitebook 8560W with video card NVIDIA Quadro 1000M and it using MBR booting. I downloaded pop-os_20.04_amd64_nvidia_13.iso and i have installed successfully other linux distros using the same easy2boot flash drive. This is the first .iso that i have problem.

OK. Then it is probably an incompatibility between that ISO and your hardware. Try the Intel version of the ISO. Or maybe add a cheat code to the kernel parameters - e.g. noapic noacpi nomodeset vga=ask ..

I have been working on a grub4dos for UEFI (I call it grub4efi) version of the E2B menu system and boot loader.
There have been quite a few bugs which yaya (the developer) has fixed, but there are also still some bugs which are unfixed - see https://github.com/c...grub4dos/issues
The menu configuration commands, etc. seems to work quite well and STAMPS and animation are working.
I have managed to make it compatible with the legacy E2B meu system, however grub4efi does not support the wimboot mechanism which is used by a1ive grub2\grubfm, Ventoy, etc. and allows the booting of WIndows Install ISOs.
And so, at the moment, I use grub4efi to detect if the USB drive is a Removable type or a Fixed Disk type.
If USB=Removable, I allow Windows Setup to detect the \AutoUnattend.xml file in the root of the USB drive and this will load the ISO as a virtual DVD when WinPE loads.
If the USB=Fixed, then I 'call' agFM (grubfm) which is on partition 2 of the E2B USB drive and this then used wimboot to load the Windows ISO and load the ISO as a virtual DVD in WInPE.
So far I have these working in a similar manner to the grub4dos Legacy menu system:
Windows 10/11 Install ISOs Removable and Fixed USB drives
WinToGo WIn8 VHD fixed 25GB (fat+ntfs)
winbuilder isos, e.g. WIN10_PESEx64.iso
HBCD v1.0.2 uses .isoPE01 file extension
.imgPTN, .imgPTN23, .imgPTNREP3 file extensions
.WIM files
Linux isos...
.isopersist file extension
.isopersistdebian
.isopup
ParrotOS
ArchLinux install 5.12.8
Debian Live
FedoraKnoppix 8.6.1
PopOS Gorilla
SCRE - storage recovery
puppy slacko64 7
FatDog
Ubuntu21
Supergrubdisk iso - need to load efi.img as fd9 and then chainload /efi/boot/efi.img
PartedMagic
rescatux
LinuxMint xfce 20.1
I have found that because the E2B menu system is in 800x600 mode, it can actually cause some Windows .efi files to fail to boot (0xc00000f error), so it is best to issue the 'graphicsmode -1 1024 768' command just before allowing it to boot to the ISO/payload.
A1ive's ntloader utility is used in grub4efi to boot to VHD and WIM files.
At the moment, because agFM is required for Windows Install ISOs when using a Fixed disk USB, agFM must be present on FAT32 Partition 2 and you first boot to agFM and then to E2B/grub4efi.
I hope to be uploading an early Beta soon which allows you to update an existing E2B USB drive.
Meanwhile, it would help if you could look at the remaining issues with grub4efi on the issues list and maybe test/confirm them?

Getting this error when making a new E2B drive onto the SSD installed into my iODD:
My 2nd partition is 32GB FAT32. It did populate with files. It's not an issue of free space, so what's the problem?
I didnt let the installer create a 3rd data partition to fill the rest of the drive, I don't need it.
Kind of strange that there are no posts in this thread since last year.
This also happens if i install with default settings. Since only Ventoy is failing, maybe i can just skip it.

I tested using a compressed TEMP folder and got the same issue!!!
It seems xcopy had a problem copying from a compressed folder to the root of the FAT32 volume
L:\e2b\Update agFM>xcopy C:\temp\compressed\ventoy l:\ File creation error - The parameter is incorrect. Unable to create directory - L:\ 0 File(s) copied
L: is the E2B USB FAT32 volume (partition 2)
copying to L:\ fails
copying to L:\junk\ works
copying to the NTFS partition root of the USB drive works
so issue seems to be copying only when copying files to the root of a FAT32 volume from an NTFS compressed folder
The file should be uncompressed by Windows as the destination does not support compressed files
Is this a bug in Xcopy or Windows?

I managed to make it work by adding a \ to the source path
so
xcopy /herky C:\temp\compressed\ventoy\ L:\
works
