Installing Windows 7 64bit Pro from a 320GB Ex HardDrive?
Problem: Won't boot off external hard drive[windows7pro64bitInstallation](320GB)
I've been making custom images of Windows 7 for my work. Currently I am working on an image filled with loads of programs (the wim file is 27gb). I have followed the normal instructions to create a bootable usb drive.
captured the wim using imagex, used bootsect /nt60 on the external drive etc
I am just wondering, is the reason it won't boot, is because it's not a flash drive?
Previously all my other windows 7 builds have been on 8gb flash sticks.
So in summary:
Is it possible to make a working bootable installation drive on a 320 external hard drive?
and if there is a way.
What am I doing wrong?
(note i've made working bootable win 7 installation usb drives before)
