Request for VENTOY command in Diskfire to install Ventoy MBR in Disk

[devdevadev]

Hi...A1ive....
Nice to see that something is baking very delicious in the kitchen....

Just download newly developed 'diskfire' tool and see that it have an option for installing RUFUS MBR in Disk.....

I switch between Grub4dos MBR and Ventoy MBR in my SMART USB as per requirement using my SMART_SWITCH.cmd. Currently I use following command in order to install VENTOY MBR in my SMART USB using my SMART_USB_ALTOY.cmd

dd.exe if=%USBDRIVELETTER%\ventoy\bootdisk\core.img of=\.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=990 seek=1
dd.exe if=\.\physicaldrive%DD% of=E2B.MBR bs=512 count=1
dd.exe if=\.\physicaldrive%DD% of=VTOY.MBR bs=512 count=1 skip=999
dd.exe if=%USBDRIVELETTER%\ventoy\bootdisk\boot.img of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=440
dd.exe if=E2B.MBR of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=80 skip=432 seek=432
dd.exe if=E2B.MBR of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=16 skip=432 seek=384
dd.exe if=VTOY.MBR of=\.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=1 seek=999
dd.exe if=VTOY.MBR of=\.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=1

It will be very useful if we can install VENTOY MBR using Diskfire VENTOY command just in single command similiar to RUFUS command.

So this way we will be able to switch between Grub4dos MBR and Ventoy MBR in same USB Drive just by using a single all in one tool 'Diskfire' . I just loved the concept of Diskfire command line tool. It have all the commands that I have use in my SMART USB.cmd . Maybe I will use Diskfire.exe as the primary tool in my SMART_USB_ALTOY.cmd

Will it be possible to have VENTOY command in Diskfire to install Ventoy MBR in Disk ?

Thanks & Regards....

No.
Ventoy checks the MBR and reports an error if the MBR does not match. The MBR is different for different versions of Ventoy, so it is not possible to prepare an MBR for every version of Ventoy.
You could backup the Ventoy MBR and restore it later.
Backup: diskfire.exe mbr -b=vtoy.mbr -s=4 (hd0) (assume Ventoy MBR occupies 4 sectors)
Restore: diskfire.exe mbr -r=vtoy.mbr (hd0)

Yes...I know that. I was asking for command something like this

%PTN2%\ventoy\bootdisk\core.img
%PTN2%\ventoy\bootdisk\boot.img
%PTN2%\ventoy.disk.img
%PTN2%\ventoyKAS.disk.img
%PTN2%\ventoyNS.disk.img

diskfire.exe mbr -i=VENTOY -core=%PTN2%\ventoy\bootdisk\core.img -boot=%PTN2%\ventoy\bootdisk\boot.img (hd%DISK%)

where core.img and boot.img will be the latest files as per latest Ventoy which will be used as input file for Ventoy MBR
Above command should do exactly the same thing which is done by following commands for writing Ventoy MBR

dd.exe if=%USBDRIVELETTER%\ventoy\bootdisk\core.img of=.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=990 seek=1
dd.exe if=.\physicaldrive%DD% of=E2B.MBR bs=512 count=1
dd.exe if=.\physicaldrive%DD% of=VTOY.MBR bs=512 count=1 skip=999
dd.exe if=%USBDRIVELETTER%\ventoy\bootdisk\boot.img of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=440
dd.exe if=E2B.MBR of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=80 skip=432 seek=432
dd.exe if=E2B.MBR of=VTOY.MBR bs=1 count=16 skip=432 seek=384
dd.exe if=VTOY.MBR of=.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=1 seek=999
dd.exe if=VTOY.MBR of=.\physicaldrive%DD% bs=512 count=1

This we will be able to write latest Ventoy MBR to %DISK% in just single diskfire VENTOY command ??

Thanks & Regards...
