- <p>First don't panic! :) </p>
- <p>Try out the following steps:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- <p>If you insert the USB disk into a computer, does it show up?</p>
- <p>A quick way to test this out on a GNU/Linux system would be to run <code>lsblk</code>
- or check <code>dmesg</code>.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>If the USB does not get detected, then it could either be an issue with
- your USB disk. (Or, at times, the USB port / hub.) See if it gets detected
- in other computers. Or change the USB port. Or try to use it without a USB
- hub (if you're using one).</p>
- <p>Still nothing? Do write in to us at <a href="mailto:guide@mostlyharmless.io">guide@mostlyharmless.io</a> with
- "MH-USB" somewhere in the email subject and we'll help you out.</p>
- <p>The <a href="https://ask.libre.support/c/usb/">MH-USB discussion forum</a> is another
- option.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>If it does get detected, then try to mount the partition called "MH-USB".<br />
- It should get mounted just fine on any OS. If you're able to mount this
- filesystem, check its contents.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>If the contents are okay and readable, then its probably a Grub2 issue.<br />
- Unless you want to debug it and learn about Grub and Ventoy in this
- process, that one option.</p>
- <p>Otherwise, a simple solution might be to just
- backup the contents of the USB disk and re-install the MH-USB software
- using the scripts included with the source code.</p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <h3 id="im-unable-to-boot-operating-system-x">I'm unable to boot operating system X!<a class="headerlink" href="#im-unable-to-boot-operating-system-x" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
- <p>That could happen due to multiple reasons:</p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- <p>Its possible that the OS image on the disk has errors in it. The easiest
- way to verify that is to calculate and verify its checksum. </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>When using SeaBIOS with Coreboot, it possible that the OS image might not
- be able to initialise graphics mode and show its internal boot menu. Try
- pressing the <span class="keys"><kbd class="key-tab">Tab</kbd></span> key twice to show boot options.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Does Ventoy include support for that operating system? The list of
- supported (ie. tested out) operating systems is available here:
- <a href="https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html">https://www.ventoy.net/en/isolist.html</a></p>
- </li>
- </ol>
- <p>If you still face problems, please do post on the <a href="https://ask.libre.support/c/usb/">MH-USB discussion
- forum</a> so that we can try to debug it
- together.</p>

- <p>You can easily recreate the MH-USB on the USB disk (or, for that matter, any
- USB disk out there!) by using the scripts provided with the source code.</p>

- <p>Yes - Sure. The reason the MH-USB partition is formatted as exFAT is so that
- its possible to detect and use it on all operating systems. You can store any
- data on it and use it to transfer files.</p>
- <div class="admonition warning">
- <p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
- <p>It is not safe to store important or private or sensitive data on a
- portable USB disk. Please be careful. Consider encrypting the storage disk
- if you need to secure the data stored on it.</p>

- <h3 id="does-the-mh-usb-require-upgrades">Does the MH-USB require upgrades?<a class="headerlink" href="#does-the-mh-usb-require-upgrades" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
- <p>Not really. The MH-USB is basically a Grub2 bootable disk which in turn loads
- and boots up operating system images. In case there is a specific bug that
- stops it from working, there isn't any real reason to upgrade Venoty/Grub.</p>
- <p>However, if you are interested in contributing to the development effort or
- further customising the MH-USB - that's a good reason to upgrade / update its
- configuration.</p>
- <h3 id="the-mh-usb-is-slow">The MH-USB is slow!<a class="headerlink" href="#the-mh-usb-is-slow" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
- <p>Check the <a href="/usb/internals/#dd-read-test">performance benchmarks</a> for the USB2
- model. Try to replicate them and see if your results come close to it. That
- would indicate a limit of the USB disk's performance.</p>
- <p>If you have a USB3 disk and connecting it to a USB2 port, that might result in
- slower transfer speeds as well. Do check that out.</p>

- <p>Yes sure! By all means. The source code for the 3D printed enclosure is
- included within the MH-USB source code.</p>
- <p>If you need help with design, production, customisation or distribution, please
- feel free to reach out.</p>

- <p>MH-USB variants with custom images would require too much effort - unless what
- you have is a volume requirement (ie. at least 100 units). You can make your
- own custom USB disk very easily by adding the OS images of your choice and
- customising the Grub2 theme.</p>
