GTOOOOOH Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 (edited) How come when I mount/unmount my boot.wim even if I take things OUT... the file size keeps increasing. I've probably mounted/unmounted about 30 times, and each time it goes up about 1mb??? I started around 160mb, I'm now at 200mb? I've tried making a copy of the boot.wim and prep'ing it... it does nothing, and I thought that was supposed to clean stuff up... so not only is prep'ing locking me down, but it's not cleaning... and the file size STILL goes up a bit each time.

trtkron Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 After you have made edit's, export the file into a new file.imagex /export /compress maximum boot.wim * boot.new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4ntb0y Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Yep that is the correct way but way should be the question your asking so you can understand it.I beleive that it has everything to do with the meta data held within the wim unless you do an export you will not be able to reclaim the addtitonal space.
