Yes, Windows 8 support USB 3.0 controller out of the box. A legacy Windows does not, integrate USB 3.0 drivers to boot environment first. Use the USB 3.0 flash drive at a available USB 2.0 port.

Try a current version again http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/ ISO9660 Level 3 and UDF mkisofs.exe -iso-level 3 -N -D -d -relaxed-filenames -allow-multidot -udf -hide boot.catalog -hide-udf boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -b boot/etfsboot.com -o G:\Win7BIG.iso \W7x64Setup finds a file install.wim greater 4gb, installation does finish.

Idea, not tested: Can we use fake setup.exe? Copy setup.exe "%temp%" create a file "%temp%\setup.cmd" (push to USB disk and wait) pushd "%temp%" start setup.exe popd

The Windows 7 bcdboot.exe dosn't create a UEFI VHD entry, booted at BIOS mode. A Windows 8 bcdboot.exe does create a UEFI VHD entry. Or set a UEFI VHD entry with Windows 7 or 8 bcdedit.exe: @ECHO OFF Rem Set BCD (boot configuration data) for VHD UEFI boot path %~dp0..;%path% set BCD_store=/store S:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd call :add_VHD \win7e.vhd "Windows 7 VHD boot \win7e.vhd" goto :eof :add_VHD for /f "tokens=1-3" %%a in ('BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /create /application OSLOADER') do set guid=%%c BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% description "%~2" BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% device vhd=[locate]%1 BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% osdevice vhd=[locate]%1 BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% inherit {bootloadersettings} BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% systemroot \windows BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% path \Windows\system32\winload.efi BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% detecthal Yes BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /set %guid% nx OptIn BCDedit.exe %BCD_store% /displayorder %guid% /addlast goto :eof

I don't remember all details after all this years. Read the historic threads.If I remember correctly: there is a fake setup.ex? and original setup.ex? is renamed to setupORG.ex? \$WIN_NT$.~BT refers to used source. You can't use one for any sources.You have to adjust How do you create a correct \$WIN_NT$.~BT ? Use a current winsetupfromusb always.

As for testing: Windows 7 DVD booted at BIOS mode. The letter C: refers to internal UEFI Windows 8 installation. Shift F10, diskpart create vdisk file=c:\win7e.vhd type=expandable maximum=12345 select vdisk file=c:\win7e.vhd attach vdisk convert GPT create partition primary format quick fs=ntfs label=VHD_7e assign letter=V imagex.exe /apply install.wim 4 v:\ select disk 0 select par 2 detail par assign letter=S Windows 7 bcdboot: cd /d v:\windows\system32 bcdboot v:\windows /s s:This created a BIOS boot environment at given environment. Windows 8 bcdboot: cd /d c:\windows\system32 bcdboot v:\windows /s s: /f uefi bcdedit /store s:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd bcdedit /store s:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd /set {default} description "[C:]\win7e.vhd" Reboot to internal hard disk and "[C:]\win7e.vhd" selected: windows 7 installation does start and finish. There is a C: with label VHD_7e and size 12gb.

That's a bad idea, there are more changes. Well, you use a mixed approach: a predifined approach and a manually hack. Why don't you backup all files from winsetupfromusb 0.2.3 and restore all files?

No, the set id command is obsolete. Internal "create partition primary" default is sufficient. Compare: diskpart: detail partition There is another difference. Be aware: UEFI VHD boot it's not supported by windows 2008 R2 setup.exe GUI. http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/w/wiki/uefi-boot-to-vhd.aspx Local hardware dosn't support secure boot. Do you use secure boot? As there is windows 8 UEFI boot environment active, secure boot should work still. Try both: with and without secure boot. Can you clarify: How do you create the VHD file? Do you create a VHDX file? Which tools do you use at which running OS? Do you use a fixed size VHD? Do you use a dynamically expanding VHD? Do you set VirtualDiskExpandOnMount? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/gg318055%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

Yes, read: Add a Native-Boot Virtual Hard Disk to the Boot Menu To update a UEFI-based computer to include a Windows 7 boot menu http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799299(v=WS.10).aspx Do you like to add Win7 VHD to the same hard disk?

There are no USB 3 drivers at Windows 7 by default, hence the missing USB disk connected to USB 3.0 port. Yes, this works. There are USB 2 driver by default.

I wonder, the manufacturer offers very few Vista 64 bit drivers for a Z77X-D3H: Audio and LAN http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4144#dl Is it possible to support all hardware at Vista 64 bit? Contrary a GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3975#dl The manufacturer offers Audio, Chipset, LAN, USB 3.0 and VGA Vista 64 bit drivers. A i7-3770T and 32 GB RAM are supported.

This BartPE example is textmode only. There is no gui mode reboot. There is another Kernel Mode Driver Framework issue after first reboot, hence at gui mode. No, I don't have a txtsetup.oem only solution.

No there is no XP SP3 KB88811, because it's integrated in XP SP3 already. Do NOT download XP SP3 KB88811. Install the audio driver.

Which old and new hardware do you use? Most importand are mass storage drivers. Which one do you use currently? Set services msahci and pciide to start=0 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976/en-us There is sysprep too Sysprep Command-Line Syntax

I've done a kicker CD at PE1, but never above. There is a batch: there are some fix filenames and txtsetup.sif is processed dynamically http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=21939 At PE3 there is no txtsetup.sif. You have to search registry services start=0 instead, and extract relating files. I wonder: how courious are you? Do you have fun and like to invest time. And invent a this to PE3? Results are highly welcome. Or boot a basic PE3 (default \boot and boot.wim) from USB 1.1, but read install.wim from Firewire drive? As for a one time solution, this seems to be a more straightforward approach. You use this already: how long does it take booting from USB1.1?

Compare storage controller BIOS settings.
