Hello Everyone.....

I know about 'WinNTSetup v.3.7.2' but It does not allow me to choose 'Repair your Computer' option which we normally choose within from official Windows Installer. So I want to create a 'Win8.1SE_x86/x64_boot.wim' which will automatically pop-up 'Win 8.1 Installer' when Boot to Desktop. I also want to add 'Install Windows' shortcut in the desktop of 'Win8.1SE' in order to run 'w8186.exe/w8164.exe' manually so that I can start 'Win 8.1 Installer' directly form desktop shortcut. Actually I want to use 'Win8.1SE_x86/x64_boot.wim' both as WinPE and as normal 'boot.wim' in order to save disk space in my USB Drive. I think It should be possible but I am unable to find out any tutorial which can fulfill my goal. 'HALIKUS' had also asked for the same in Oven.org/index.php?topic=830.msg10561#msg10561, But exact solution is not posted anywhere till now......

\bootmgr
\boot\bcd
\boot\boot.sdi
\efi\boot\bootia32.efi
\efi\boot\bootx64.efi
\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd
\sources\Win8.1SE_x86_boot.wim
\sources\Win8.1SE_x64_boot.wim
\sources\w8186.exe
\sources\w8164.exe
\sources\install.wim (32-bit)
\sources\install.esd (64-bit)

 

Following is a look of my desired  'Win8.1SE_x86/x64_boot.wim'...........  :)

Actually I want to create a Windows Setup similar to 'Ubuntu Live CD' which 'Boot to Desktop' and pop-up with 'Install Ubuntu' dialog box and also have a desktop shortcut option for Installing Ubuntu into the Internal Hard disk . Similiarly I want from Windows. i.e  WinPE will load into the RAM and 'Boot to Desktop' and pop-up with 'Install Windows' dialong box and also have a deskop shortcut for Installing Windows within from WinPE.

 

If anybody know about this, then please help me in creating desired 'Win8.1SE_x86/x64_boot.wim' files.

 

Thanks in Advance............

AFAIK, Every 'boot.wim' has two Indexes. i.e  Index #1 and Index #2

 

 

1. Microsoft Windows PE - Win8.1SE_x86.wim -

WIM Information:
---------------------
GUID: {8954C4EC-EB99-4A9C-8D32-CA37A9D4C8BE}
Image Count: 1
Compression: XPRESS

Image Index: 1

2. Microsoft Windows Setup - Normal 'boot.wim' -

WIM Information:
---------------------
GUID: {C34E6AEB-2593-41A2-B03B-7B84F4829642}

1- Is it possible to make an arrangement so that we have option to choose between  'Boot Index : 1' and 'Boot Index : 2'  ? I mean when BCD try to load/boot 'boot.wim' file then it ask for choosing either 'Image Index #1' or 'Image Index #2' so that we can use both 'WinPE' and 'Windows Setup' through single 'boot.wim' file ?

 

2- AFAIK, In case of 'install.wim', we have option to choose any Image Index number for Windows Installation then

    Why there is no option for chooseing either 'Image Index #1' or 'Image Index #2' of 'boot.wim' Images ?

 

If anyone know about the concept of these 'boot.wim' Indexes, then Please help me in creating (IF POSSIBLE) 'Win8.1SE_x86_boot.wim' which will ask for choosing betwen 'Boot Index : 1'  and 'Boot Index : 2'  ?

 

 

Thanks in Advance...
