You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disk and boot them.

You can copy many image files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.

With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the image files to the USB drive and boot it. *If the drive is locked and also encrypted then you might as well toss it into the trash can and install a new drive because encrypted data on a drive is worthless without the key to unlock it.Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. So saying this all on just what I have read about it and heard. I have heard that the lock is a stripe of data on the platter as well as other drives its a lock in the PCB that is the drive controller attached to the hard drive, so some drives are easier for a data recovery service to recover the data from than others.īut I haven't had to use their services before, and have only read and heard about what they can do as well as there are some videos online that they show their process that they do to recover data. If the data on the drive is yours and you need it back, you could send it out to a data recovery center that might be able to recover it for you for a fee, however I believe they need to have proof that your the original owner of the drive possibly by a match to proof of purchase of the original computer that the drive came out of to avoid unlocking sensitive data to someone who isn't the original owner. I feel you will just have to buy a new hard drive for the computer and swap it out and start with a fresh clean install.

Did you get this computer second hand? Problems like this seem to arise when people get computers that weren't originally theirs that the original owner had a lock on them and the new owner doesn't know the unlock key.
