I'm trying to make a bootable USB. I'm using linux-mint
I got an error saying file to large when transferring install.wim.
I installed wimtools and used wimsplit to make install.swm and install2.swm.
I then moved the files to the usb and ran

Code: Select all

wimjoin install.wim install*.swm

I get the following error

Code: Select all

[ERROR] The parts of the split WIM are not numbered 1..2 as expected.  Did you specify duplicate parts?
ERROR: Exiting with error code 62:
       The WIM is part of an invalid split WIM.

I tried renaming install.swm to install1.swm but get the same error.
any advice?

What do you see if you run the following?:

wiminfo install.swm | grep 'Part Number'
wiminfo install2.swm | grep 'Part Number'

It should be:

Part Number: 1/2
Part Number: 2/2

Ah both are showing the same.

Code: Select all

Part Number:    2/2

How do I change this?
I'll have a look and see if I can figure it out

I ran the wimsplit command again and it numbered them correctly.

wimjoin install.wim install*.swm
new error though.

Code: Select all

Using LZX compression with 1 thread
[ERROR] Error writing chunk data to WIM file: File too large
ERROR: Exiting with error code 72:
       Failed to write data to a file.

Maybe I should format the usb in a different way. thought fat32 was acceptable.
