Just downloaded the wimboot enterprise image but what should happen? It boots, then a cmd window with wpeinit will start but then? Nothing more...
Does not look like worth the hassle to use Wimboot on regular desktop/laptop computers. SSD capacity is getting larger and hopefully the price will also drop soon. I currently run my OS (Win8.1 x64) plus all programs on my 128GB ssd and I still have 92 GB free space left.
Gah, thx captain subtle... removed. It *was* the pre-integrated version of the 17025 leak with the scripts and everything all set up for you.
You gotta do the diskpart /s CreatePartitions-WIMBoot.txt and ApplyWIMBootImage d:\images\install.wim d:\images\winre.wim (may be different drive letters depending on your setup) and then reboot. Someone could probably come up with a script to detect which volume you want to partition and make a menu'd script that is ran with winpeshl.ini but I'll not treat everyone like idiots. You can run the 2 commands yourselves aye?
LatentActions is changed in 9600.17031 MSU version, now it's: Code: HIVE_SOFTWARE, ADD, REG_DWORD, Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide\Configuration, LatentActions, 0; delta compress LDR updates
I think I may make a Wimboot AIO for the spring 2014 update later on the ARRR site. It depends if I am successful in doing the optimize on an offline image or not. I'm not gonna bother sysprepping every single index for an AIO if not...
How much larger/smaller is a WIMBoot Optimized WIM (if at all) How big is the complete space allocation on C:\ A picture of C:\Windows and C:\Users properties (size + size on disk)
Can anyone answer the above? I literally just want to know how big the Pointer Files are. (double post can't be helped )
You can create the VHD using command line Code: set /a SIZE=30*1024 change 30 to your desired size in GB, and copy the result to use in second command Code: diskpart create vdisk file=Path.vhd maximum=30720 type=expandable noerr Path.vhd: vhd file name and path 30720: size in megabyte that we got from first command type: can be fixed or expandable or here is a simple script: Spoiler Code: @ECHO OFF echo+ echo File name and path: set /p NP= echo+ echo Size in GB: set /p SIZE= set /a SIZE=%SIZE%*1024 echo+ echo Type ^(f: Fixed, e: Expandable^): set /p TYPE= if [%TYPE%]==[f] set TYPE=fixed if [%TYPE%]==[e] set TYPE=expandable echo create vdisk file=%NP% maximum=%SIZE% type=%TYPE% noerr >"%temp%\vhd.dps" echo exit >>"%temp%\vhd.dps" cls echo+ diskpart.exe /s "%temp%\vhd.dps" echo+ pause and it's working without the need to Initialize te disk
Wow... I literally just read this in the chm file today... It's like we're on a whole new nerdy level together man...
Sorry man we're really busy with integrating the main image right now. I've already laid out all the instructions for you. Feel free to give it a whirl. I've done all the work.
All im asking for is how big the the pointer files are, im not going to create a VM just to look at that. The space savings is the only interesting thing and it's not even mentioned in this thread, way to miss the point of wimboot
Could one make a live USB with wimboot or Windows still nowhere near functionality that is all but standard for Linux distros?
You literally knew nothing about wimboot like a day ago and were saying that it was pointless, now you're harping on me for not mentioning pointer files? Enlighten us since we're all busy o master of pointer files...
I didn't mention pointer files, or hardlinked files, or whatever you call the little double FAT entry things ms is using because honestly I don't think that's the point of the WIMboot. IMO the entire point of WIMboot is to speed up the reading of system files by both loading them all in a compressed image and also keeping said information in memory using Win8's awesome file caching. Think of how many times your system reads the various system files... If you were to store them all in memory, uncompressed, it would be a huge waste. But really we still don't know much about it.. we can only speculate. So, for being a sarcastic douche, I'd like to apologize... Friends?
