Thanks again whs.
I do remember what you had said regarding if it would work or not. My main concern was with the 1st part, 'In step 2 mounting the WAIK'. Does this part matter anywhere it's doing its reading from (considering the mentioning of 32bit/64 bit)? or not? Or does just the last part, considering the XP iso, ""Step 3 - Mount the Windows 8 .iso in a virtual BD ROM" matter?
Addendum to the above: In addition to the above: I think I know where perhaps my problems lies. The AIK for Win7 download says" The...AIK for Windows 7 helps you install, customize and deploy ..the Win 7 family of Os's". This suggests to me then that perhaps I would need an AIK for WinXP. But you do say you can use this to install Win 8 and this is exactly what you do.
The problem I ran into is that the USB flash drive is on Drive H: however once the mounting is done 'H' disappears. It is now "I" and in using the command: C:\Users\Your Name\Desktop\imagex.exe" /apply H:\sources\install.wim 1 F:\ what happens is that according to you your H: becomes my I: But what about your F: Do I stick to my original H: what the drive used to be, Or is this 'I:' as well?
So now mine would read
C:\Users\Mich\Desktop\imagex.exe" /apply I:\sources\install.wim 1 I:\
