Known drives

When BootForge prepares a drive, it remembers it — so the next time you connect that drive it’s recognised instantly, with its name and history.

Where to find them

Open Tools → Known drives for the list of USB drives BootForge has prepared and remembered. Each entry shows:

• the drive’s name (custom or default);
• whether it’s Connected right now, or when it was last seen;
• its Ventoy version and how many images it holds.

Renaming a drive (Pro)

Give a drive a friendly name so you can tell your drives apart. Rename it from:

• Known drives → ⋮ → Rename, or
• the Home drive card’s ⋮ → Edit name.

Leave the name empty to remove a custom name and fall back to the default. Renaming is a Pro feature; remembering and displaying drives is free.

Forgetting a drive

Use ⋮ → Forget to drop a drive from the remembered list. This only removes BootForge’s record of it — it does not erase the drive or change its contents. If you connect it again later, BootForge will simply recognise it as a Ventoy drive and can remember it anew.
