:: Explanation of User Customizable Settings :: ::
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::
:: Set the variables below to customize the behavior of the batch file. ::
:: ::
:: NOTE: Values supplied can be either uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case. However, please note that for the ::
:: FAT32 partition, the volume name will be automatically converted to uppercase since FAT32 volume names can ::
:: only be uppercase. ::
:: ::
:: HideDetails - Set to "Y" to hide the details of every file being copied. Set to "N" or anything other than ::
:: "Y" to show the detailed copy status. May be helpful for troubleshooting. ::
:: ::
:: Partition1Size - This specifies the size in MB to create the first FAT32 partition. Suggestion: 1000 MB ::
:: (roughly 1GB) should be a good value for most situations. Use a number only (no MB after the number). If ::
:: you use a customized image with many Windows editions, it's possible that you may need to increase the size ::
:: of this partition. ::
:: ::
:: Part2SizeLimit - Set to either "N" or a numerical value. If you set this to "N", the size of the 2nd ::
:: partition will be unlimited and will be created with all the remaining space not used by partition 1. If ::
:: you would like to limit the size of the partition, specify a size in MB to create this partition. ::
:: Note: 1 GB would be 1000 and 1 TB would be 1000000 (DON'T USE A COMMA IN VALUE!). Limiting the size is ::
:: useful if you want to add other partitions to the drive. For example, I have a flash drive that I can ::
:: install Windows from, but it also has another partition that is BitLocker protected with all my software ::
:: applications, personal documents, etc. ::
:: ::
:: Part2FS - This sets the filesystem type to use on the 2nd partition. Either exFAT or NTFS can be specified. ::
:: Set this value to either "NTFS" or "exFAT". My personal preference is to always use NTFS. ::
:: ::
:: Partition1Name - This is the volume label to give the first partition. Since this is a FAT32 partition, the ::
:: volume label is limited to 11 characters. ::
:: ::
:: Partition2Name - This is the volume label to give the second partition. If you choose to use exFAT you are ::
:: limited to 11 characters. With NTFS you have up to 32 characters. Note that by default we use the name ::
:: PAR-2-%Part2FS%. The %Part2FS% is the variable that contains either NTFS or exFAT (whichever you specified ::
:: for that variable). Of course, you do not have to use this and can modify it if you wish. ::
:: ::
:: PartType - Set to either MBR or GPT. Normally, leave this set to MBR. An MBR partition type will allow for the ::
:: greatest compatibility with both BIOS and UEFI based systems. However, it is limited to disks with up to ::
:: 2TB in size. If you plan to use a disk larger than 2TB you must specify a GPT partition type. Please be ::
:: aware that doing this will limit compatibility so that it will not work on BIOS based systems. ::
:: ::
:: AutoDismount - Set this to Y if you want the source ISO image to be automatically dismounted by this batch ::
:: file when it is done running. If you do NOT want the image dismounted, set this to N. NOTE: Technically, ::
:: the image will be dismounted when set to anything other than N. ::
:: IMPORTANT: Set this to Y only if the source is an ISO image. If you are pointing to a folder on a drive, ::
:: then this should be set to N.

echo ============
echo.
echo This batch file will create a bootable flash drive from a mounted Windows ISO image or an image extracted to disk.
echo If you are using an ISO image, mount it before you continue by double-clicking the ISO image and note the drive
echo letter to which it is mounted.
echo.
echo You will be asked if you want to wipe the destination disk or perform a refresh operation. If this is the first
echo time preparing the disk, use the WIPE option. Be aware that this will destroy ALL data currently on the disk^^!
echo.
echo If you choose the REFRESH option, you will be asked for the drive letter of the two partitions previously
echo created on the disk. We will then replace the files on these partitions with those from the source that you
echo specify. This is especially helpful if you create additional partitions on the disk because it will update
echo the first two partitions while leaving any additional partitions intact.
