DISM+Windows 10

[SHimmer45]

Hi All,

can some one looks over this and tell me if im missing the wood for the tree so to speak.

imaging a couple of machines from a WIM file captured to a USB driver from a windows 10 PC (MBR boot) the bios does support UEFI but is not booted this way.

when i attempt to create the boot files on the system drive i get a failure message

 

diskpart

select disk 0

clean

create partition primary size=350

active

assign letter=S

format quick fs=ntfs label=System

create partition primary

assign letter=W

format quick fs=ntfs label=Windows

 

dism "apply image from USB location"

 

X:

bcdboot w:\windows /s s: (also tried copying from the X:\windows of winpe)

 

i then get a failure to copy / create boot files

tried various options for creating the partition (inc making both active which to me isnt needed)

 

recreated the same process on a virtual test box and it works like a charm.

 

any thoughts be grand.

cheers

So you're not using WDS on a windows server to do the imaging?

no the machines are being used offsite with there own keys etc so the idea was to install one machine and copy to the other 3.

i have done it in the past with 8.1 etc without any issues.
