    Hi Atak, Ive have talked to you previously to see why I cannot seem to get your wonderful tool to work for me. Everything works fine, until it tries to integrate the drivers into the install.wim. Could you take a look at my log file, and see what is going on?

    PS, I sent you a pm with my log file link

    Thanks. So we should be able to use NVMe slots on newer motherboards to install the OS (7) on when integrating these drivers?

    Further, it looks like that USB 3.0 expansion card you linked to is indeed the best rated and most versatile one on Amazon (4.5 out of 5 stars from 1382 customers is the best rating of any of these type cards there).

    I can create an ISO with installing the updates only. I cannot, however create one with drivers, and updates, nor with drivers only??

    The tool has never worked for me. Just did a fresh install of Windows 7 pro on my other laptop, and tried again. Will not integrate drivers into Install.wim of MSFT Windows pro sp1 x 64 iso. CSM enabled, samsung 512gb 840pro SSD.
    Does this require an ISO that does not have SP1?

    You need to do some more reading.

    Care to elaborate, or just leave a post that has no usefulness?

    You're trying to use a tool, but you don't exactly know how the basics of it work. It's been repeated a number of times, that all you have to do is find and integrate the needed usb/sata/nvme(in other words storage) drivers into the boot.wim and install.wim files of windows 7. That's what this tool does, besides using a boot.wim and the adjacent files from windows 10.
    What you need to read up on is "dism /mount-image", "dism /add-driver", "dism /add-package", "dism /unmount-image" and "dism /export-image":
    - mount the desired index, integrate whatever you need to integrate(/add-package is for when you need to integrate nvme drivers, then you need to integrate a couple of updates as well), unmount the image.
    - export the modified index to a new install.wim file to get rid of DISM leftovers which increase the .wim file size.

    I know the basics of how this tool works. I know all I need are updated storage drivers to install Windows 7 on newer hardware, and I know the basics of using dism.
    What I want is, the tool to create a fully updated ISO, with all of newer drivers included. Is that not what this tool is supposed to do? Is it not supposed to speed the process up, instead of typing each individual drivers name at a command prompt?
    I dont need an ISO with just a USB 3 driver, or a NVMe driver integrated, I need an iso that is updated. I suppose I will sit down at a command prompt and do it myself.

    Lets see:
    Code:
    dism /add-driver /image:path_to_mount_folder /driver:path_to_drivers_folder /recurse
    This makes the /add-driver process go through the specified folder and all its subfolders, so no, you don't have to integrate each and every driver individually.

    Well roll up them sleeves and execute a few cmd rows then...

    Doesnt this tool use the exact same command line argument? It points to the folder in which you extracted the application to, which points to the extracted drivers folder.
    The drivers install fine into the boot.wim, but fails every time with the intall.wim.
    Bah, I will just do it myself. I thought maybe Atak could read my log file, and tell me why its failing.
