No, I don't see why that would be an issueWould there be issue with page file turned off?
If you turn your antivirus off it will be quicker.

Thanks SIW2. Will give it another go.
1. This DISM command was posted by KYHI on splitting install.wim into FAT32 compliant parts.
There was however a user comment that ei.cfg is required for this to work. Is it necessary to restore ei.cfg?
2. Would the following diskpart commands create a bootable GPT formatted USB flash drive for UEFI installation? The "convert gpt" command seems to be left out in many guides. Is it necessary?Code:Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:Z:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:Z:\temp\install.swm /FileSize:3800
Many thanks and best regards,Code:list disk select disk <disk number> clean convert gpt create partition primary select partition 1 active format quick fs=fat32 Label="7x64GPT" assign letter=Z exit
Hi goopy,
DISM++
The posts #19, #24, #30 [by SIW2] in this thread might help: Hard drive not recognized by laptop, No bootable device.
Here is the quick procedure guide:
[01] Download the latest version of DISM++ from here: https://www.chuyu.me/en/index.html
[02] Extract the files using something like 7-Zip: 7-Zip
[03] Double click the Dism++x64 application.
[04] Mount the image from the install.wim [main menu screen, click File, and select Mount Image].
[05] Highlight the mounted image [at the top].
[06] Click Updates in the left hand menu.
[07] Click Scan.
[08] Click Install Updates.
[09] If a box appears that says Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems requires an exclusive access, click Do not install (recommended).
[10] When the Successful! box appears, click OK.
[11] Repeat steps [07], [08], [09] and [10] another THREE times.
[12] On the main menu screen, click File, and select Save Image.
[13] When the Save directly or perform an incremental save? box appears, click Direct save.
[14] On the main menu screen, click File, and select Unmount Image.
[15] Optimize [cleanup and compress] the size of the install.wim.
[16] In the left hand menu, click Toolkit, and then click ImageX.
[17] Browse to and select the install.wim that you want to export, and click Open.
[18] Click on the image that you want to export, and click Export image.
[19] In the File name: box, enter the filename install2.wim. In the Save as type: box, select Max [if NOT already selected], and click Save.
[20] When the box saying Successful! appears, click OK, then click the Red Cross.
[21] Delete install.wim and Rename install2.wim to install.wim.
That's it!
I hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply SIW2, it is appreciated.
I will try running it again later.
I thought it might have been because I had updated image 1 using DISM++, then saved it and unmounted it. I then ran the 7UPDATER batch file to see if there were any updates that it found that DISM++ didn't. That was when it dropped me out of the batch file.
I wondered if it had been because DISM++ created a new install.wim [with the image 1 updated] that wasn't fully recognised by 7UPDATER!
Thanks in advance.
Greetigns SIW2.
Any help with these questions?
Three more:
3. Can an updated image be used as source for future updates/drivers integration by 7updater or DISM++?
4. Can 7updater work with DISM++ modified image?
5. Can the 7updater modified image be used for system recovery?
Many thanks and best regards,
Yes3. Can an updated image be used as source for future updates/drivers integration by 7updater or DISM++?
Yes4. Can 7updater work with DISM++ modified image?
Do you mean a repair install? Yes.
5. Can the 7updater modified image be used for system recovery?
I don't thnk so, but I haven't done it for a while.splitting install.wim .. Is it necessary to restore ei.cfg?
There was an issue with win8.1 about split wims -something to do with finding the license agreement. Maybe that is the same with10. I never heard of it in relation to win7.
I would use wimlib for the splitting.
wimlib-imagex split Install.wim Install.swm 4000
To put swm files back into one .wim
wimlib-imagex join Install.wim Install*.swm
