    With this script you will be able to use both multiboot builds together using the original Grub2FM and Ventoy files.

    Installing to USB or disks is enough for 1-2 clicks.

    ATTENTION:

    Any disk operation has certain risks. The script file tries to keep the existing data safe by notifying the user, but it is highly recommended to make a backup first for very important data.

    In the first installation, if you do not install with the non-destructive installation option your USB/HDD disk will be completely formatted.

    Take your precautions for data loss.

    Both Ventoy and Grub2FM are secure boot compatible in efi mode.

    In order to be able to use it with Secureboot turned on, the .cer file must be introduced into the BIOS on first use.

    Full installation (complete formatting of the disk) is recommended for installation, but you can also install non-destructively...

    Regardless of whether Full installation or Non-Destructive Installation is chosen, the "Partition Structure" must be MBR. Ventoy and Grub2FM installed with MBR have UEFI support and also run smoothly on backwards old PCs.

    If "Partition Structure" GPT is selected, Grub2FM will not be installed and the script will fail.

    Update Process:

    When new versions of Ventoy and Grub2FM are released:

    After the Ventoy updated files are downloaded, the related files are copied to the Ventoy folder.

    After the Grub2FM updated files are downloaded, the related files are copied to the Grub2FM folder.

    By running the Grub2FM_Ventoy_EN.cmd file with the 2nd option both multiboot builds can be easily updated.

    Hotkey from Ventoy to Grub2FM: F6

    Hotkey from Grub2FM to Ventoy: F5 > V

    Ventoy is version v1.0.76.

    Grub2FM is the Pre-Release version created on March 9, 2022.

    If there are new versions of Ventoy and Grub2FM when you want to install, you have to change the installation files yourself.

    Thanks to @abbodi1406 and @BAU their help with coding, @By_FaRuK of TNCTR for their ideas and support, and @crasadure for the video narration.



    Special thanks to @BAU.
    He did not spare his help at the most critical points of this script file.
