Ulaiphur Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hi guys. I know that all dvds contain multiple versions of windows inside install.wim and that they are all optimized by hardlinks for saving space. What I'm interesed is how to do the same for an install.wim containing both x86 and x64 versions? Some files in the x86 image match the x64 one and could be setup some hardlinks in order to save some megabytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabben Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hardlinks?We use image or gimagex to export all editions we want to a new *.wim and use maximum compression:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
