I don't understand why any of this is necessary. So the install.wim is bigger than 4gb...split it to 4gb or less .swm files. Put the whole thing on the fat32 and you can boot legacy or uefi from fat32. One partition, no sweat. I must be missing something...what?
indeed, you are missing something, read about this in the previous posts, why this is necessary Answer is in the BIOS, as a tip
It must be something to do with 20H1. I've just upgraded my ADK to this build & have noticed my WinPE no longer shows the UEFI logo but the Windows logo & my WinPE is at a lower resolution. Copying back the 19H1 WinPE wim's & all is back to normal...
I use a 128GB USB3 key for all my installations. All the Windows and Server Editions I need are included. ESD is much easier to maintain & install from...
It's giving people more options. Others prefer not to split their install.wim and disable Secure Boot More options here... [SOLUTIONS] Installing Windows on UEFI System with install.wim over 4 GB
got the error, the device manager wasn't recognising my USB drive, so I went to properties and made driver update, thereafter all went fine as it should be. Thank so for the response
Some people get worried because the file explorer shows the two partitions on the usb disk : just remove the driver letter from the fat32 partition by additing the following statement after line 177 (remove-item ($env:temp + "\bcd.*") -force) : Code: Get-Volume -DriveLetter $usbfat32.substring(0,$usbfat32.Length-1) | Get-Partition | Remove-PartitionAccessPath -accesspath $usbfat32
@rpo I was just thinking about this yesterday. What if we did this before creating the NTFS partition. Will the script work on older versions of Windows that do not support reading and creating multiple partitions on removable storage devices?? Because it will hide the Fat32 partition first and then create the NTFS partition
No, it will not work because you can't hide tha fat32 partition as you have robocopy and copy-item statements. Hiding the partition removes the drive letter.
Sorry I wasn't clear. What I meant was... First create the fat32 partition Copy all the boot files/folders to the fat32 partition Hide the fat32 partition Then, create the ntfs partition Copy the ISO to the ntfs partition Will this work? Also noticed this small detail after creating the Setup disk
