Here it is (dumped output attached). Anyway, before posting on this thread, I had already checked with coreinfo and I saw that PAE, NX and SSE2 were OK, so that the CPU should have to be compatible with Win 8, I guess ... On the other hand, as i said, I installed and ran it on the same machine, even if this is not surely a proven proof! coreinfo.txt

Hi JFX, the first suggestion (for ISO mount) have worked nicely. For the red icon, it comes up when I try lo load the 8 Enterprise evaluation and and it says "CPU Win 8 not ready". This is strange though, because I've tried successfully to install different version of Win 8 ! mariella

Hi JFX, at first I wolud like to congratulate you on your fantastic WinNTSetup tool, which I've known through the Wimb's thread "VHD_W8_Compact - Make Mini 8". I'm making some experimentation with your tool (last 3.7.2 stable version) by building a "compact" Win8.1 on a penflash but, while building the vhd image, I was always constrained to load the related install.wim as source, because I always was not able to load the .iso image (R-click on Source). Whenever I choose the iso loading procedure (R-click), nothing seems to happen after I select the ISO from the file dialogue window and click Open. I've made a lot of trials (even a manual installation of imdisk) but without success. Besides, in some other occasion (loading the install.wim as source) I could see a "stop" red warning icon in the Source section and I do not know what is this warning for. I wonder if I'm missing something important... Thx in advance for your support mariella
