Hi,

I've been using ventoy for a while now and I love it.
But there's a problem I have.

I made an Multiboot-USB Stick. With ventoy so easy.
But if I edit an ISO the error: "No bootfile found for UEFI! Maybe the image does not support X64 UEFI!" occured.

In this case it's Acronis 2019.
Inside iso is a file for Mac: AcronisTrueImage2019-17000.dmg
I delete this one to safe space. Now I boot and get the error.

Kaspersky rescue disc the same.

But I did the same thing with Acronis 2017 ago... this worked fine.

I use PowerISO or UltraIso to edit the isos.

Can someone help me with this?

Best regards biggrin.png

Are you testing booting on a real system?

Does the modified ISO UEFI-boot from an Easy2Boot v2 USB drive?

Can't test because I have no Easy2Boot USb drive.

OK - so if you extract the files from each ISO and compare the contents, what differences do you see?

Content is the same.
Only folder doc and the file AcronisTrueImage2019-17000.dmg are deleted.

 

I had a screenshot but no idea how to attaching it :confused1:

I made a new GPT ventoy stick with Ventoy-1.0.18_Modified_EN and Support for SecureBoot.

Now I get this error message:

 

ASSERT_EFI_ERROR (Status = Invalid Parameter)

ASSERT [Ventoy] /home/share/Ventoy/EDKII/edk2-edk2-stable201911/MdePkg/Library/UefiMemoryAllocationLib/MemoryAllocationLib.c(813): !EFI_ERROR (Status)

 

No bootfile found for UEFI!

Maybe the image does not support X64 UEFI!

Are you sure the unmodified ISO boots OK?

I have downloaded AcronisTrueImage2019_14110.iso and it also gives a UEFI boot error in E2B UEFI64 agFM grub2 (unmodified).

It does not contain any dmg file. I think you can get ISOs for PC or for MAC - maybe yours is the MAC one?

AcronisTrueImage2019_14110.iso UEFI64 boots OK if I use the agFM .isomem boot option however.

Yes, it boots ok.

No, Its not the MAC one.

 

Only the modified doesn't boot uefi.

Check file contents using 7zip - so you can see [BOOT] files.

The files in [BOOT] folder are the same in both ISOs:

 

1. 1-Boot-NoEmul.img size: 2048
2. 2-Boot-NoEmul.img size: 0

 

Hmm, can it be some kind of signature?

UEFI boot files should be located into efi folder and I didn't see it on the pictures link on Post No, 11

 

See attached pictures from AcronisBootableMedia2016.iso

It sems that there are more then one ISO-Versions outside.

As I wrote in Post 1 the Acronis 2017 ISO has the same content like your 2016 ISO.
The Acronis 2019 ISO unmodified boots UEFI.


AcronisTrueImage2019_14110.iso UEFI64 boots OK if I use the agFM .isomem boot option however.

As I wrote I use the modified ventoy Version.
If I boot .isomem nothing happens. Can you tell me how you did this?

My ISO contains a EFI folder. I don't see how your ISO can UEFI boot as it does not have EFI files - are you SURE it UEFI boots when unmodified?

To test:

I just made an E2B v2.04 USB drive using Windows 10

Added the ISO to \_ISO\BACKUP folder

UEFI64 booted

and chose the .isomem  option.

I use PowerISO or UltraIso to edit the isos.
 

Then don't and instead of editing a .iso (that by definition cannot be edited) re-create one.

 

Making a .iso that dual boots BIOS and UEFI is "tough" and it is very likely - not to say probable - that the original .iso has *some* settings[1] that "generic automagic" tools like PowerIso or UltraIso simply miss, or at least that was the case before:
https://msfn.org/boa...comment=1080917

 

Compare with:
http://reboot.pro/topic/21664-makeiso/

http://reboot.pro/to...-under-windows/

 

Basically you need to understand how (EXACTLY) the original .iso is made and then find a way to recreate it with mkisofs or oscdimg, start here:
https://msfn.org/boa...-torito-images/

[1] possibly unrelated, but Acronis has historically made "strange" .iso's:

2. 2-Boot-NoEmul.img size: 0

.

Compare this at ImDisk or ISOBuster.

.
This is the EFI boot image, It's a approximate 400 MB floppy image.

Comparing with IsoBuster shows the difference

There only three entrys in Spur 1 in the modified ISO and the BiitImage.img with 0kib

 

Strange

Strange

Please read as "normal for Acronis", as seen in the given threads.

 

What very likely happens is that the size of the boot image is mis-reported, not entirely unlike what happened here:
http://reboot.pro/to...ting-iso-files/

with a "more normal" isolinux .iso.

The original ISO contains two ~ 400 MB boot images.

Guessed: one PC and another Mac one. Then one image should be mountable at ImDisk.

The boot images are missing at  the edited ISO, UEFI boot fails.

I wonder the file size: why a 1.6 GB ISO image?
 
Dosn't Acronis offer a about 700 MB CD image anymore?
