Start windows 10 Setup from a different folder
I have download windows 10 pro and home editions with both 32 and 64 bit versions of the os by using media creation tool.I have make bootable my external hard disk by using bootsect.exe and I have copy all the necessary files at the right partition of this drive.
bootsect /nt60 {my drive letter}:
** I didn't use /mbr option because I have grub installed to this disk too with 2 linux distributions. **
After that I made this partition active by using diskpart.
Anyway...I had no problem to start the windows setup and install (clean install) windows from there but I wanted to change the name of the folder that includes the specific version of the os to something else.
For example for 64-bit version of the os windows 10 setup has an 'x64' folder and for 32-bit it has an 'x86' folder.Both of those folders are on the root of my external hard disk partition.
The thing is I can change the name of this folder to 'Win10_x64' for 64-bit and 'Win10_x86' for 32-bit version.After that with the right modifications to bcd file I am steel able to boot Windows 10 Setup but when I press install I recive the message the installation can't find drivers (load driver error).
I don't know what else I should change in order to me this work.
I also tried (only for testing purposes) to leave 'x86' and 'x64' folders with the original names (they boot fine) and rename boot.wim file to boot1.wim to see if I get this error again.
Of cource I gave the right commands to bcdedit to change the 'device' 'osdevice' and 'descreption' parameters for the right {guid} in order to boot the boot1.wim but I had no drivers problem this time.
My question is:
What is the right file (or files) I should edit in order to make the installation working without driver problem by changing the boot path for the boot.wim file?
Are they inside the boot.wim file?
