Let me know if you're going to use this process. If so, what's your project that you're working on?
I found an easier workaround, I used Medicat for this to test
1. create a new partition at the USB. Medicat needs 25.55GB, so the partition that I created is 25.56Gb. The remaining of the USB flash have unallocated space.
2. Open Ventoy, from options chose non-destructive install. Now the ventoy bootable partition is created at this 25.56 Gb Patition.
3. Extract medicat 7zip to this partition.
4. create the image. I tried using win32DiskImager with read only allocated partitions but it still read the whole storage. I cant figure out the reason of this behavior.
The Only 2 software that worked for creating an image for the allocated partitions are Disk Genius & Macrium Reflect
After moving the partition with gparted, the drive is no longer bootable.
Disk Genius is all you need to resize and move the last partition.
Resize the first partition, when done, resize the last partition, just drag the partition against the bigger one. (so not resize it, just move it)
But can you take the whole project and let's say put it into an empty partition on the SSD and dualboot it with Windows installed on that SSD? Because this will be awseome.
I got everything done besides the image, it keeps wanting to do the whole drive even though I have read only allocated paritions on. I also go into disk managment and it says I have the unallocated space so I don't know what is going on, is there another program that could possibly create another image?
Power ISO should be able to make an ISO image of your USB and just burn the image back to any new USB.
OR
Install a new ventoy on a new USB and drag & drop from one to other.
There is though a portable Windows program – USB Image Tool – that does the back-up as an image(.img) file of your entire USB drive; that program is useful mostly when you wanna use just one USB drive for multiple purposes by saving an image(bootable if the USB drive was itself done bootable), then other image representing a different project and so on, and then restoring on the same USB drive a particular needed image from the multiple previous backed-up/saved images. Moreover, once backed-up/saved image file can be mounted as a virtual drive and modified within it with another completely free program called OSF Mount.😉
Flawless, best video on YouTube, you are the MVP!
I'm watching your videos as a Premium YouTube user at 2160 resolution and while magnifying it's still blurry, why is that though? Where and what is wrong?! Speaking of gparted; it's included in the Rescuezilla ISO image, no need of a whole Linux distro.
