Tsundere

Just checked again, it is a 7B error

Sorry for the delay, Ill post up some more results tonight.

@cdob Tried usb3(creator) driver+ usb_fix -> applied just install.wim on fixed disk. Result=BSOD. I will try again without usb_fix

Hmm, he charges quite a high price, and I feel like his level of skill is a bit overkill for this lol. I think I'll keep trying on my own for a while longer

Sorry to side-track but here are some thoughts I'm having. Would it be possible for me to hire someone (or learn myself) to write the emmc driver? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff554811(v=vs.85).aspx It doesn't seem like it would take an expert very long to do, considering how there's already a win8.1 version of the driver and the intel emmc driver that @cdob found (which was close to working?). Also, here are some interesting links I came accross: https://www.google.com.au/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Intel+Soc+Sd+Host+Controller+Emmc+ https://communities.intel.com/thread/76705 https://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=258908 Is there a way to trick windows into thinking a usb flash drive is a fixed disk/external hdd?

I'm back. Noted, I will post up some more results tonight

1. It took me many tries to solve the command errors lol, but I think I managed to do this. Win7 setup was loaded and my wireless keyboard and mouse wasn't working (and I forgot to press shift+f10, sorry). I guess this is because of no usb3 drivers. 2. Then I tried to add usb3drivers (from Win7_USB3.0_Creator_v3) to the same boot.wim and it got bsod. I have to catch a flight now, but I will be back to work on this in about 48 hours. The first thing I'll do is step 1 again properly.

Result:

Attached is a log of my attempt and the error I got, and also my intended plan. E: drive is wd passport because I haven't enough space to mount on C:. Also, I have been using x86 win7 iso all this time because from what I understand, x64 version makes it more complicated. So just to clarify: I should add x86 drivers? Thanks planofapproach.txt log.txt

I seem to be getting errors with command prompt, I will need to re-install windows 8 I think, please bear with me

It seems like I don't have enough local disk space to run the installer =(. It gives no option for mount-path. I will try again on different computer tomorrow. Could I just manually add the drivers instead from that same folder? I only have lexar 8gb and 32gb usb sticks currently, but can buy more if needed. I think we've tried this previously (see page 1) and the result was:"No fixed disks to show"+"missing driver error". I will try these things within a day

I think so. The size matches up at least and there is only the lexar 8gb connected to the laptop. Btw, that previous attempt I posted was usb boot, not apply-image method. I think all apply-image methods I've tried result in bsod after 'starting windows' animation. I will try this tonight

Hey man So not even the intel driver (iaiosd)?

Thanks man, I just have a few questions. Why did you use VMWare when you already applied win7 to E: partition? What if I get bsod (probably due to missing drivers? Why do you suggest this particular method? Isn't it quite similar to applying image on an external fixed disk?
