I recently learned about Ventoy, which allows you to load multiple Linux distributions onto a USB drive. After setting it up on a 16 GB USB using ISO Imager, I noticed that it only occupied 193 MB. However, when I try to copy more ISO files onto it, I'm hit with an error saying there's no space left. I can't figure out how to resize the partitions, so what's going wrong here?

Ventoy creates two partitions on the USB drive. You need to place the ISOs in the larger FAT32 partition. Make sure you haven't accidentally copied your files to the smaller partition instead. You can check the partitions using tools like gparted on Linux or Disk Management on Windows.
Just to clarify, the larger partition is typically where you drop your ISO files, and the smaller one is for boot files. If you’re seeing a space error, double-check that you’re putting the ISOs in the right place. You can view the partitioning in utilities like Gnome Disks or Windows Disk Management.
Thanks for the tip! I thought it was simpler. I saw someone just dragging and dropping files using Etcher, so I assumed it worked the same way. Guess I need to double-check my setup!
