how can I mount a WIM image using imageX

Question

You must have the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) installed first.

 

Once done, Open a Command Prompt window and then change to the

 

C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\x86

 

directory.

 

To mount a WIM file use the following format:-

 

ImageX /mountrw c:\somedir\someimage.wim 1 c:\somedir\mount

 

 

That's it, you can now edit files in c:\somedir\mount and once done you'll have to commit those changes using the unmount switch in imageX to the WIM image using:-

 

ImageX /unmount /commit c:\somedir\mount

 

How To inject drivers into an offline WIM image

 

First use the ImageX /mountrw command-line utility to mount the image file. Then use PKGMGR to inject the new driver into the Windows Image file by using the unattended answer file that you previously created in Windows SIM.

 

Once done, use the ImageX /unmount /commit command to save the modifications that you have made to the offline image.

 

 

fyi.. here is a post describing editing of a WIM file to inject drivers

 

 

Note: Any modifications that you have made to the offline image will be disregarded unless you utilize the ImageX /unmount /commit command.

 

Please note there is a Gui version of imagex available here

 

 

cheers
