![]() If the disk image will be used with a Mac or Windows computer and is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT) if it’s over 32 GB, choose ExFAT. If the disk image will be used with a Mac with macOS 10.12 or earlier, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled). ![]() If the disk image will be used with a Mac that has a solid state drive (SSD) and uses macOS 10.13 or later, choose APFS or APFS (Case-sensitive). In the Size field, enter a size for the disk image.Ĭlick the Format pop-up menu, then choose the format for the disk: This is the name that appears on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar, after you open the disk image. ![]() In the Name field, enter the name for the disk image. This is the name that appears in the Finder, where you save the disk image file before opening it. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File > New Image > Blank Image.Įnter a filename for the disk image, add tags if necessary, then choose where to save it. Sudo woeusb -partition split.You can create an empty disk image, add data to it, then use it to create disks, CDs, or DVDs. Wimsplit tmp-install.wim split/sources/install.swm 4000 # with *.wim, install says "insert windows installation disc 2" # we must use *.swm file extension for split files Wimexport mnt/sources/install.esd all tmp-install.wim -compress=LZX:1 # i dont care about file size, just make it quick # convert to non-solid format per `man wimexport` # Splitting of WIM containing solid resources is not supported. Wimsplit mnt/sources/install.esd split/sources/install.wim 4000 Then use wimsplit to produce install.swm and install2.swm mkdir mnt To split a install.esd file, you must first convert it to install.wim An advantage is that no file with a different hash/date is involved. Credits to this other answer for the simplification. Note: for a method that does not split the wim file, see this former version of the present answer. Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:F:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:X:\sources\install.swm /FileSize:3840 (this copy "install.wim" split as two files "install.swm" and "install1.swm").robocopy F:\ X:\ /E /XF F:\sources\install.wim (this copies all files from the mounted ISO to the USB disk, except "install.wim").ACTive (this step is critical and why we use DISKPART).ASSign LETTER=X (assuming this drive letter is unassigned adjust steps 5 and 6 as necessary).CLEan (occasional access error can typically be ignored).SELect DISk N (replace N with appropriate number).Type the following (lowercase letters are optional, case is not sensitive) if exist F:\sources\install.wim diskpart (this checks the file "install.wim" is where it is expected in the ISO image, and if so launches DISKPART).Open a command line prompt with elevate privileges (Windows key, type "cmd", right-click on the cmd icon on the top left, launch as administrator).Connect an 8GB to 32GB USB drive with no useful data.Adjust steps 4, 5 (twice), 6 as necessary. In the following I'll assume it's assigned to drive F. We split the large "install.wim" file as a workaround to the 4GiB file size limit.We use FAT32 in order to be bootable under all UEFI system.Here is a method yielding a USB drive bootable both on a UEFI and non-UEFI machine. With this I could successfully boot the Windows 10 installer and do the install. The previous step created a small (<4G) wim-file which I copied into the sources directory of the UNetbootin created USB-Stick overwriting the broken install.wim (e.g. In my case I ran (see man wimexport): wimexport install.wim 1 home.wim -compress=LZX:100 With wiminfo you can list all included Windows types. ![]() Next use wimexport ( apt-get install wimtools) to extract and compress the Windows type needed from original install.wim. ![]() Or alternatively mount the Windows-ISO if you are a more advanced Linux user. Do not use the broken install.wim from the created USB-Stick !!). Now, use 7zip ( apt-get install p7zip) to extract the ISO (it is enough to extract the install.wim file. Unfortunately there will be no message, that it truncated the install.wim (in case it is larger than 4G).Īt least UNetbooin creates a bootable USB-Stick. Use UNetbootin to create an USB-Stick from the Windows ISO. This is the way under Linux (in my case Ubuntu Bionic). For all the poor Linux admins without a Windows computer like me, who need to help relatives installing Windows 10 (sigh). ![]()
