Yes. FAT32 filesystem has a max file size limit of 4gb.Is that OK and would it have written the original iso to the stick direct had I pre formatted the stick NTFS?
Update your Win 7 installation media

New #313
As I wrote you before, my version of your 7updater is for my private use. Won't make it public.
I know that any operation with diskpart has a risk.
On my sub cmd CREATE_USB.cmd
:selDisk
ECHO.
echo PLEASE SELECT THE USB DISK TO BE BOOTABLE
ECHO. & ECHO.
start /wait BIN\pecmd load BIN\getUSB.ini
call BIN\setUSBpath.cmd
del BIN\setUSBpath.cmd >nul
IF '%USBpath%'=='' goto :selDisk
if not exist %USBpath% (
echo No Disk selected
goto :selDisk
)
echo.
set USBpath=%USBpath:~1,-2%
echo.
Vol %USBpath%
echo DISK VOLUME IS %USBpath%
:ConfirmD
ECHO. & ECHO Confirm? & ECHO.
SET YESNO=
SET /P YESNO="Y=YES / N=NO => "
echo.
IF /I NOT '%YESNO%'=='Y' IF /I NOT '%YESNO%'=='N' goto :ConfirmD
IF /I '%YESNO%'=='N' (goto :selDisk)
:Format
echo.
Vol %USBpath%
echo.
echo.
echo DISK %USBpath% will be formatted and
echo ALL files and foldes will be erased
echo.
:ConfirmF
ECHO. & ECHO Confirm? & ECHO.
SET YESNO='N'
SET /P YESNO="Y=YES / N=NO => "
echo.
IF /I NOT '%YESNO%'=='Y' IF /I NOT '%YESNO%'=='N' goto :ConfirmF
IF /I '%YESNO%'=='N' (goto :selDisk)
diskpart /s Bin\Udiskpart.txt
and Udiskpart.txt
select volume %USBpath%
clean
create partition primary
Format FS=FAT32 LABEL=Win7_Inst QUICK
active
exit
So I asked to confirm twice and I select a volume, not a disk (yes, I know, clean will clean all disk)
I have tested many times without any issues.Last edited by Megahertz07; 05 May 2019 at 09:36.

You created and added some register entry's:
reg.exe load HKLM\PE_DEF "%MountDir%\windows\system32\config\DEFAULT"
reg.exe load HKLM\PE_SOFT "%MountDir%\windows\system32\config\SOFTWARE"
reg.exe load HKLM\PE_SYS "%MountDir%\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM"
echo.
reg.exe import bin\DEFSYS.reg
echo.
reg.exe unload HKLM\PE_DEF
reg.exe unload HKLM\PE_SOFT
reg.exe unload HKLM\PE_SYS
Then you added Peshl file and folders to System32.
Then you created WinRE.wim and copied to System32\Recovery on Install.wim
Could you please explain what is that all about (create a GUI to recovery option?) ?

Fat32 Disk Size Support
Everyone that keeps saying Fat32 has a 4GB limit is confusing the 32bit RAM limit with Drive Limit <quote>That said, FAT/FAT32 can actually format up to 16TB hard drives and most operating systems support up to 2TB. Microsoft has set a 32GB partition size limit for the FAT/FAT32 file system to promote NTFS, which is generally more efficient when working with large partitions.</quote> Yes it does work as I have several 8GB, 16GB and 32GB flash drives formated with Fat32 for UEFI use. What happens is anything more then 8GB and Windows 7+ opt for either ExFat or NTFS as the format.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, glad to see a solid discussion on how to get USB 3 support into both the Installer and the installation since I depend on VPC 2007 that doesn't work on anything later the Win7

New #320
Started from the beginning of the thread and kept seeing the 4GB limit being listed as a Fat32 limit - finally got to the point that someone clairified they were talking about a File Size Limit, not disk format limit as I was assuming.
Hoping to get a working flash drive with USB 3 support in the installer and to add it for my new Ryzen Build.
