HELP (Imagex/WIM) Error opening file -- The data is invalid


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have a WIM file created last night (size 8.5GB) using the following command.

imagex /capture c: I:\image.wim "IMAGE" /boot /compress fast

NOTE that I:\ is a network share to a Windows 2003 server with NTFS as the filesystem

For some reason, why I try to use "imagex" to restore the image, I get the following error.

Error opening file [i:\image.wim].

The data is invalid.

BTW, I am using BartPE as the image pre-installation environment.

Any ideas?

David

I've never used the boot switch before. What does that do specifically?

What is the command you are using to deploy the image?

I have encountered problems using imagex if using multi-partition/spanned wims from a DVD, but not from the network, so I'm not quite sure there.

Turns out, the WIM file was bad.

In order to fix I re-did the WIM file, using the following command instead: (check and verify added)

imagex /capture C: I:\image.wim "IMAGE" /boot /check /compress fast /verify

Life is good now.

:)
