cluberti Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Depends on the components you have added to the WIM, but in general, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Yes, I'm not a moron and I understand the difference between a WinPE boot.wim and a full OS install.wim. And yes, you can remove WinSXS even from a full OS (what do you think that WinPE image is based on???), but I wouldn't recommend it. You won't save *that* much space in a boot.wim, even if you do get it to work. I guess it would make more sense if you explained *why* you are trying to shave off a few MB from an already svelte WinPE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusj0015 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) i wasnt trying to insult youi want to remove the WinSxS folder because it takes up about 500mb and yes i know that WinPE is based on Windows 7i want to remove all unnessicary files from winpebecaue i want to use it as a recovery tool it has DaRT 6.5 Kaspersky firefox auslogics defrag and glary undeletei want to save as much space as i can in the winPE so that there is more RAM available for these programs to usei want it to be a perfect recovery tool thats the reason you need 1 gb of ram to install windows 7becasue WinPE is loaded entirely to RAM and WinPE (When extracted) uses 1GB of RAM (give or take a few mb's) Edited September 3, 2010 by marcusj0015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
