Creating an .iso file from a .wim file

To create a bootable media by using a .wim file, you need to convert it to an .iso file first.

To create a PE image (.iso file) from the resulting .wim file:

1. Select Microsoft Windows AIK ® Windows PE Tools Command Prompt from the Start menu.

   Users of Windows 7 should select Microsoft Windows AIK ® Deployment Tools Command Prompt from the Start menu.

   If you create WinPE 4.0 ISO, select Windows Kits ® Windows ADK ® Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment from the Start menu.

2. Run the copype.cmd script to create a folder with Windows PE files. For example, from a command prompt, type:

   copype amd64 c:\winpe_x64

3. Replace the default boot.wim file in your Windows PE folder with the newly created .wim file (for example, AcronisMedia.wim). If the AcronisMedia.wim file is located on c:\, then:

   For WinPE 3.0, type:

   copy c:\AcronisMedia.wim c:\winpe_x64\ISO\sources\boot.wim

   For WinPE 4.0 or WinPE 5.0, type:

   copy "c:\AcronisMedia.wim" c:\winpe_x64\media\sources\boot.wim

4. Use the Oscdimg tool. To create an .iso file, type:

   oscdimg -n –bc:\winpe_x64\etfsboot.com c:\winpe_x64\ISO c:\winpe_x64\winpe_x64.iso

5. Burn the .iso file to a CD using a third-party tool (for example, Nero) and you will have a bootable Windows PE disc with Acronis True Image 2015.
