I seen here on the forums someone made a post about basically mounting the Windows 8 boot.wim and extracting the usb 3 drivers from there. Below is a file I took from the boot.wim from Windows 8- This should be all I need yes? (I see a refrence to this file: USBHUB3.SYS - not sure if needed but I will place in the folder when intergrating it.) usbhub3.inf Code: ; ; usbhub3.inf ; ; Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

Same here. I have a driver cd that came with my computer that has: Intel, Asmedia, and Etron drivers. I was able to acquire the latest intel and asmedia but cannot find etron updates. I have already slipped in intel and asmedia but when attempting to slip in the etron drivers, I receive errores.
Thanks again Tito, your awesome. I now have and know how to correctly intergrate the Intel, etron, and asmedia drivers into my boot.wim. Are their more controllers I should know about? I will google this.
It's not obsolete if you want to use Win7 or Win8/8.1, using a USB 3.0 flash drive to install Windows faster.
why ? only what i need for installing win 8 is usb 3.0 flash drive and i have tablet with usb 3.0 port .. so i ll enable boot from usb flash drive and i am good to go n ?
I have integrated installation disc version of 32 bit and 64 bit, I worked in the guide but I get to install it tells me: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition" How can I solve this
Has anyone tried this on the new Asus Chromebox? None of these drivers are working for me, and it appears to use an Intel controller. Windows 8.1 works fine.
Hi All I have been following every post and tried all the different approaches and my MacBook Pro: [h=3]2.3GHz[/h]2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache is still stuck at the initial page of windows 7 install (language select) with no track pad or keyboard support. I have downloaded various drivers (intel only) and nothing seems to be working, i have slipped the USB3 drivers to both the install.wim and the boot.wim but nothing seems to be working. I guess I am not using the correct drivers... I noticed some forum members here speak about AsMedia, and Etron drivers... do i need those too? where would I get them? such a nightmare, its been over a week I am stuck with a new computer I cannot use. any help would be appreciated. Thanks
maybe what I am doing wrong here is trying to install it with an USB 2 stick and thats why its not working?
Guys, same thing for me. I am desperate. I own an Iconia W700 tablet with windows 8 preinstalled. I tried to make a clean Windows 7 installation from the one and only USB 3.0 port available on the tablet. Bought a USB hub to connect keyboard and mouse. Everything works great upon booting (including the keyboard) but I get stuck on the WINDOWS 7 install initial page (language select) where no sort of input whatsoever is available, no mouse, no keyboard, no touchscreen. NOTHING. I have followed all the procedures on this post and modified the BOOT file with all usb 3.0 drivers... and still nothing... should I just throw this thing out of the window??
Thank you for posting this! I'll be building a new system in the next couple of weeks and will want to try this out. I'll post if I'm able to get it working.
