[OPTIONS] Installing Windows on UEFI System with install.wim over 4 GB

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

And that could be a useful batch for the same (it can run from WinPE which does not have Powershell):

Code:

@Echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
Set "USB="
REM get removable loaded drives:
for /f "tokens=1-5" %%a in (
 'wmic logicaldisk list brief'
) do if %%b Equ 2 if %%d gtr 0 Set USB=!USB! %%a
Echo:Usb removable drives:%USB%
EndLocal&Set USB=%USB:~1%&Goto :Eof

Hi All,
Greets,
1.

Sir,
Thanks.
To add : USB7ice is a great tool for creating a pen drive with any windows distributions where the biggest file or Install.wim is equal or less than 4 GB.
It creates a media which is compatible with UEFI + GPT , UEFI CSM & Legacy bios ( MBR ).
For eg. If a BIOS is configured for both ''UEFI + Legacy BIOS'', It will show two boot entries : One as UEFI & other as traditional Legacy USB entry.
( It reminds me of writing an ISO on a DVD. That uses FAT32 & is bootable on both UEFI & Legacy BIOS )

2.

Sir,
The 1903 version's Install.wim was just under 4gb.

3. What USB7ice actually does while using Standard BCD ( Vista & Vista + Distributions ) with FAT32 ( Default ): It simply formats a pen drive in FAT32 with single partition & simply extracts a windows distribution ISO to the root of USB Pen drive. That's it. It can be done manually as well.
( The trick was once shared by Sir Enthousiast )

Thanks & Regards. ...

 

Code:

Function Get-USBObject
{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [OutputType([PSCustomObject])]
    Param
    (
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
            Position = 0)]
        [ValidateLength(1, 3)]
        [string]$DriveLetter
    )

    $DriveLetter = $DriveLetter.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper()
    Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_DiskDrive | Where-Object { $_.InterfaceType -eq 'USB' -and $_.MediaType -eq 'Removable Media' } | Sort-Object -Property DeviceID | ForEach-Object -Process {
        If ((Get-Partition -DiskNumber $_.Index).DriveLetter -eq $DriveLetter) { Get-Disk -Number $_.Index }
    }
}

So you can do $USB = (Get-USBObject -DriveLetter H) and it will add the disk object to the $USB variable.

 

No idea why you quoted me in that? If there is no PS, then Get-USBObject will not work anyway...

Sir,
Greets,
It was linked by Kyhi sir only. It has checksums provided by him only :

SHA256 = 5E0EA09B00FCC15E40B6F11FFDC5014C40128CA89A3991F518DB92F40616543B

If still required, I will delete the link.

Let me know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

You are right, i posted the wrong script (for WinPE instead of Windows).

Spoiler

Code:

set BCDEDIT=%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\bcdedit.exe

for /f "tokens=2 delims={}" %%g in ('%BCDEDIT%  /create /device') do set ramdisk={%%g}
