I have created a customized W2K8 server image. The total ISO size is 5.5GB. Some of my servers could not read double layer DVD. SO I would like to split the ISO file into 2 DVDs. I am using Ultra ISO 9.0 to burn the iso file. Could you please advice how can I split the iso file into 2 DVDs. The first one is bootable and how the first DVD will prompt for the 2nd DVD?

Please refer to http://www.ezbsystems.com/cgi-bin....3;st=10 , which is for Windows Vista, should work with W2K8 as well.

Hi Xoben,

I followed your instruction as below:

Source: ISO image of Vista
Tools: WAIK, UltraISO
Instructions:
1,Open Vista DVD ISO with UltraISO, change current path to "\sources", extract install.wim to local harddisk, for example "f:\temp\install.wim";

2, Setup WAIK. Under windows XP, if some elements missed (such as .net framework 2.0, MSXML 6.0), the setup program will display prompt message.

3, Run "Start"->"All Programs"->"Microsoft Windows AIK"->"Windows PE Tools Command Prompt"

4, Splitting image. Enter the following command:
 imagex /split f:\temp\install.wim f:\temp\install.swm 340

 Note:
    - "f:\temp\install.wim" is the source image to be splitted
    - "f:\temp\install.swm" is target images
    - "340" is the size of splitted images, in MB.

 5, Pack to ISO.
    1) Open the ISO image of VISTA DVD with UltraISO, change current path to "\sources", delete install.wim, add "f:\temp\install.swm" here, then save as vista_cd1.iso
    2) Choose 'File'->'New'->'UDF DVD image' from main menu of UltraISO, create a new folder and rename it as 'sources', add "f:\temp\install2.swm" and  "f:\temp\install3.swm" to this folder, save as vista_cd2.iso
    3) Repeat step 2) to create CD3, CD4, etc.

 6, Burn to recordable CD's

But my iso image dont have install.wim. I created the iso image using Winpe 2.0. So, in the sources folder, there is a boot.wim. I tried to split the boot.wim but got the error data is invalid. Any idea?
