Hello Everyone.......
Specially to 'All Experts'.................
First tons of thanks to all Experts for creating 'Easy2Boot', 'RMPrepUSB', 'Modified E2B', 'WinNTSetup3',
'Win8.1UpdateSE x64 boot.wim', 'NUFD FORMAT.exe', 'UEFI MULTI.exe', 'Bootice.exe' etc........
I need help of Experts in order to complete this tutorial so please help me by suggesting Step by Step Procedure............
I have a 'Removable USB Drive' which have a FAT32 'Partition 1' and a FAT32 Active 'Partition 2'.
Normally 'Partition 1' always be 'Visible' in 'Windows OS' while 'Partition 2' become 'Invisible' in
'Windows OS'. We can install/integrate a special Windows disk driver (e.g.cfadisk) within
'Win8.1U1SE_x64_boot.wim' during creation which will trick Windows into treating a
Removable-media drive as a Fixed-disk drive.
This is the Special Configuration exactly what I want for my 'Removable USB Drive'.
- Special Configuration for Removable USB Drive -
______________________________________________________________________
Partition 1 - 5 GB FAT32 - Visible to Windows OS - will be used only for DATA Storage Purpose
Partition 2 - 9.7 GB FAT32 type Active Partition - Invisible to Windows OS but will be Visible for running
'Win8.1U1SE_x64_boot.wim' due to integration of "cfadisk" driver.
"UEFI_MULTI.exe" will be used in order to copy 'Win8.1U1SE_x64 boot.wim' file to Root, an several
other ISO's to directory \images, make the Boot files and EFI folder also Grub4dos mbr and grldr
and make 'BCD option to boot Grub4dos (E2B)'
+ Easy2Boot Files (.iso , .img , .imgPTN etc payload files with be placed within \_ISO\MAINMENU folder)
+'Win_7/8/8.1_Inst.imgPTNLBAa' will be placed in\_ISO\WIN or \_ISO\MAINMENU folder
+ WinNTSetup 3 (BootIce included in tools folder).
______________________________________________________________________
So that my 'Removable USB Drive' boot directly from 'Partition 2' into UEFI + BIOS mode with
Boot Manager Menu. Thus 'Win8.1U1SE_x64_boot.wim' will be booted directly from 'Boot Manager' menu entry in both UEFI and BIOS mode while 'Easy2Boot' will be booted from 'Grub4dos' menu entry in BIOS/UEFI (UEFI if possible).
Ultimate-Super-Smart-Secret 'Removable' USB Drive Mega-Booting should be done in following order-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boot UEFI + BIOS with 'Win8.1UpdateSE x64 boot.wim' direct from Boot Manager Menu into RAMDISK
Boot UEFI - F12 - BIOS - Grub4dos - (Easy2Boot) +/ (Win XP/7/8 VHD - Ramdisk)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note- After booting from USB with 'Win8.1U1SE_x64_boot.wim' , I will use portable App 'WinNTSetup_x64.exe' to mount 'Win_7/8/8.1_Inst.imgPTNLBAa' (within from \_ISO\WIN folder of Partition 2) in ImDisk Virtual Drive.
'WinNTSetup 3' will prepare local harddisk for Install of Win 7/8/8.1
Challanges - Currently 'Win8.1SE' package does not contains script for adding/integrating 'cfadisk' driver into'Win8.1U1SE_x64_boot.wim' . I request All related Experts (Specially to 'ChrisR') for adding a
script for 'cfadisk' driver in next release of 'Win8.1SE' package.
Is it possible to implement above Configuration in 'Removable USB Drive ?
Please study above configuration carefully and give your precious suggestions in order to implement above configuration if possible.......
Regards..
