Hey,
I'm attempting to create a bootable usb stick using ADK for Windows 8 copying a 320mb executable on to it that I can run in PE.
Using the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment I run the following commands... "copype x86 C:\pe", I then mount the boot.wim using dism: "Dism /mount-image /imagefile:"C:\pe\media\sources\boot.wim" /index:1 /MountDir:"C:\pe\mount".
After that I copy my app: "xcopy C:\pe-apps\app.exe C:\pe\mount\".
I then un-mount the wim using: "Dism /unmount-image /mount-dir:C:\pe"
Great! However when I come to boot to the USB the laptop restarts. The USB boots fine without copying the application, it works fine with a 100mb application, but doesn't seem to boot with the 320mb application.
I've tried everything I can think of: outputting to ISO instead, different USB ports, setting scratch space. I must be missing something? I haven't scripted the .exe to start, just putting it in the root of the drive, or the windows folder makes it fail to boot. I'm trying to boot it on Dell systems, tried booting on an E5500 and an E5510.
Before rebooting the laptop displays the Windows 8 logo, and just before you would see the spinning circle in the bottom it reboots. Please help! Thanks in advance!
