NOTE: To see what each component contains/adds to WinPE, check this MS article.ġ2. \Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\WinPE_OCsĬopy the WinPE_OCs folder to C:\Temp\PE5 (so now you should have C:\Temp\PE5\WinPE_OCs). We're now going to modify the boot.wim file by inserting some optional components, which can be found here: We now need to create a new folder which will act as a mount point for the WIM file, so type:ĭISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:C:\Temp\PE5\Media\Sources\boot.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:C:\MOUNTġ1. From the Start Menu > All Programs > Windows Kits > Windows ADK, open the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment, and type:ĩ. Once we know it is in fact a safe build, delete this extracted file.Ĩ. Extract it with 7-Zip, right-click on it > Properties > Digital Signatures tab, and check if there is a date in the Timestamp field.
(!) Just to be sure we're using a safe Windows build: We can check one of the files, for example, %windir%\system32\boot\winload.efi, located inside the boot.wim. Rename the file you copied, from winpe.wim to boot.wim Copy \Assessment and Deployment Kit\Windows Preinstallation Environment\amd64\en-us\winpe.wim into: C:\Temp\PE5\Media\Sources (create this new folder).ħ.

Now we're going to make your flash drive bootable.
When installing the ADK, you'll only need to select the options I marked in this screenshot:ģ.

Do note that newer builds have the base ADK and the WinPE addons as two separate downloads, so download both. (!)Stay away from Insider Preview builds, as the OS files inside them have a digital signature WITHOUT a timestamp, which will cause boot failures on certain machines with Secure Boot enabled in the UEFI BIOS. Whichever you choose, make sure the ADK corresponds to a Retail (RTM) build. We have several options, such as the ADK for Windows 8.1, or one of the ADKs for Windows 10. Next we need to download a Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). Your PC/laptop should have at least a USB3.0 port to utilize the extra speed.Ģ. A fast USB3.0/USB3.1/USB3.2 flash drive with a size of at least 16GB is recommended for two reasons: Storing multiple WIM files and other helpful apps.įaster boot-up speed compared to the old USB2.0 drives. You obviously need a flash drive, 4GB should be enough.

As I mentioned, Windows 8.1 or newer is recommended (especially when editing of a BCD store is required).
#Boot usb flash with total commander windows 7#
First we need a PC/laptop with Windows 7 (or higher) installed on it. *All screenshots in this tutorial were captured on Windows 7 SP1 圆4 eng, but it is highly recommended to use a newer OS (Win8.1 or Win10).ġ. We're not going to use this tool in this tutorial, rather get our hands a little dirty and do it all manually. I assume you are computer savvy and have at least basic knowledge regarding running commands and batch scripts.īy the way, there's also a much faster way to create a WinPE 5.0 USB drive, for those who have Windows 8.1 or newer installed, using the RecoveryDrive.exe tool (located in %windir%\system32). This tutorial is very similar to my previous tutorial, but there are a few small changes to the packages.

This tutorial will show you how to manually create a bootable WinPE 5.0 圆4 USB drive, able to boot on machines with Legacy BIOS or the newer UEFI.
