    Windows cannot find install.wim.


    As previously stated my windows install cannot find install.wim despite of having extracted directly to the drive and seeing it in the sources file, I have used a few programs such as BalenaEtcher and UnetBootin.I’ve tried doing it again just to see if it was a first time bug but that was not the case, by the way I switched to linux because I needed it as main OS but forgot to keep windows in a separate partition for dual boot. Unfortunately it seems I have done it in the wrong order ;-;.But I do hope you can help me with this!

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    Windows cannot find install.wim.

    Compacting a wim file?

    Sorry, no idea where to put this. I just recently learned how to use dism. I use it to slipstream all hotfixes and ie10 ect into an AIO install disc. The problem is, it creates a huge install.wim after 8 index mounts and slipstreams. Considering all 8 images use the same darn wim and files, don't know why it has to increase the wim size by 1gig. Either I need to figure out how to use the same wim.install file for all indexes, or I need to compact the wim file which is now 4gbs with ie10 and all updates to April. Any way to do either?
