What happened?
Mistakingly yesterday I discovered that in linux I formatted my hdd using mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb instead of sdb1 which formatted the whole drive as raw partition without partition table, then i tried to boot iso files using browse function but the partition isn't discoverable at all, I know it isn't common to use partition without partition table but adding support for such will add to the universality of ventoy
Thank you!
