Well the installer now sees the NVME and handles the USB 3 (Kbd/ms) but now I have an issue with it wanting a missing CD/DVD driver ? and it wont allow me to continue the installation.
Sounds like the sources\setup files haven't been updated. Something got messed up - possibly because you didn't have empty mount folders.
So the only thing I should have in the folder is the Sources and WIM files?
What your instructions state is to copy the source installation files (screen shot shows all of them) to the drive. If that's not what's needed, then I can certainly clean them up
Beginning to wonder if the DVD burner issue is related to Lite Scribe, which is a feature it has. The installer is picking it up and wanting a driver for it, which is blocking the install as it insists on a driver. I'll test by unplugging it later today to see if that solves that problem. Hopefully the NVME drive is now visible so I can install Win7.
Newbie alert!! Am I right or wrong in thinking the files within UPDATES-MS-Nvme-Win7x64.zip
should be added to the 7UPDATERv24/IMPORT directory at the start of things, along with any drivers to the DRIVER directories for (in my case) 64 bit? Or should the UPDATES-MS-Nvme-Win7x64.zip contents go into the UPDATES folder? Thanks. If I have ******** it up is the UpdatePack7R2 stored somewhere to use again, or do I need to re-download via my pitiful, out in the sticks, connection?Thanks!
Basil,
NVME updates go in the UPDATES\Bootx64 folder AND in the UPDATES\Installx64 folder.UPDATES-MS-Nvme-Win7x64.zip contents go into the UPDATES folder?
Yes it will still be there. It is downloaded right next to the .cmd files.is the UpdatePack7R2 stored somewhere to use again
What should happen is that boot.wim ( image 2 ) has the nvme updates integrated.
Install.wim ( whatever image you selected) has the nvme updates integrated.
The sources folder from boot.wim ( image2 ) is then extracted to the installation media folder.
That means the updated files in boot.wim sources folder match the files in installation media sources folder.
If they don't match, then setup.exe that runs from boot.wim will not recognize the installation media.
Thanks, another seemingly successfully loaded bootable USB created, a very useful tool indeed.
If I wanted to add all the current Gigabyte drivers for my MB to a USB ISO, from the Gigabyte page for this MB, how do I know what files from the Gigabyte driver pages to extract? Some directories contain just an .exe file. Some directories have zips there that contain a myriad of directories, sub directories and files within. Thanks
Drivers need to be .inf .cat and sys to be integrated.
You can probably extract them from .exe using 7-zip or uniextract
WinDef on 10 told me that v23 has a trojan - maybe why I was having so many problems with it as v24 is clean. Well that didn't work again - using win10 always throws an error when dismounting the boot.wim after adding the NVME updates - all of the USB 3 drivers go in w/o issue so I'm not sure what the issue is other then Win10 - suspect WinDef as you can't disable it AFAIK
Will run it on a Win7 system
