WaveRunningNaked Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I'm trying to create a bootable DVD with WinPE and a custom image that I made with ImageX. The problem is, the WIM file is 7 GB. Spacewise, I can fit the entire thing on DL DVD, but every program I use to master the ISO complains about the the 4GB file size limit. How do I get around this so I can burn the DVD?

Camarade_Tux Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Be sure to create your .iso file as UDF, not ISO9660. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camarade_Tux Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 But DVDs also have a limit themselve (2GB on most).@WaveRunningNaked, maybe that there's something in imagex to split your wim file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggernaut911 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 why would udf help?if you split it, do you need multiple discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOLCOMPUTERGUY Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) UDF supports large files as opposed to joliet.Try a program called "IMG burn". Edited October 29, 2008 by COOLCOMPUTERGUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 This problem seems to exist with USB keys as well - I have a 4GB key and a 64GB key, and I cannot get the installation of Vista OR Windows 7 to work from the 64GB key, unless it has only a 4GB partition (and nothing else). the 4GB key obviously works fine, and my previous 8GB key had the same problems. I believe there's some sort of issue with images larger than 4.7GB, so I'll file the bug. We'll see if this is expected or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
