| Dec 21, 2010 at 19:47 | comment | added | tony roth | are you trying to do the equivalent of wim2vhd? but wim2vmdk? | |
| Dec 21, 2010 at 1:46 | comment | added | joebalt | also @tr: I am using 2008 R2 with the WAIK installed. What part of DISM do you suggest I use to accomplish the task? | |
| Dec 20, 2010 at 23:57 | comment | added | joebalt | @tr: not trying to create an embedded image. Just looking to produce this single file that is a block-by-block representation of the disk as it should be to boot. Ultimate destination is to be used in the production of a VMWare vmdk file. | |
| Dec 20, 2010 at 23:54 | comment | added | joebalt | @r00t: Not using "wmi file". WMI is an entirely different topic. The WIM files are maintained in a repository in a Linux/Python/Java world. "They" (the Linux/Python/Java part of this solution) want to send me the WIM file and have me translate that into a raw disk file -- and, yes, I am still not quite sure what that is -- still getting info from "them". :) | |

| Dec 20, 2010 at 22:06 | comment | added | tony roth | if you have win7 or w2k8r2 use DISM. Are you trying to create an imbedded image or are you trying to do something like wim2vhd? | |
| Dec 20, 2010 at 20:47 | comment | added | r00t | funny how you don't feel the need to explain what a "wmi file" is, while you don't know what a raw image is... for me, the opposite would be the case. now, it appears that wim comes from some kind of backup/snapshot program...? does it do it's business on file-level or disk/filesystem level? (your /apply operation appears to extract a set of files into a directory?) now, to create a raw image from a directory of files, you would need a tool that can make an (empty) image accessible as a drive, so you can copy to it, but i doubt that that's what "they" want... | |
