    1) Create a FAT32 > 2GB - 32GB < Partition at the end of your drive
    2) Copy the contents (Files) from the Rescue Media ISO to FAT32 partition
    3) Run proper Batch File to add the FAT32 Bootable Partition to your host Boot Menu Options
    PESE_UEFI_BOOT.bat
    PESE_MBR_BOOT.bat
    4) Batch File will ask for partition "Drive Letter"
    Batch File will ask you to type a "Name" for the Boot Menu Entry
    Batch File will ask you if you want to Display "Metro Boot Menu"
    Note: Batch just runs simple windows bcdedit commands to add the boot menu option....
    Create a Fat32 Partition on your HDD
    Mount ISO and copy contents to that Partition
    If your system is UEFI run UEFI_Boot
    If Your system is MBR run MBR_Boot

    I'm just checking if there are any updates and I noticed that Win10XPE_1803R_180908_x64 has been taken down?

    @Kyhi: thanks for your excellent rescue disk to which I keep pointing users. Would it be possible to provide e.g. a link to instructions to create a bootable disk? I keep having to add those. Rufus and the command line option would be great. Some users simply copy the iso to a disk.... Thanks!

    My 2 cents,

    This is both a fascinating and important thread for those who spent a lot of time testing computers. But, for the average person who uses a standard computer, and has an odd problem cropping up (like myself), this is not necessary. Nothing substitutes verified mirror backups, separate mirrors for the OS, and the data, which means that one never keeps data on the OS partition. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Hi, @NavyLCDR has just posted this which includes command prompt sequence and much more - perhaps too much for this purpose, but covers issues arising rather well:
    Installing Win 10 x64 using a flash memory - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums


    and Rufus instructions are in Option 2 of this tutorial, but refer there, of course, to a Win 10 iso.

    Okay, getting closer, but do you know why I am getting this error when trying to mount the iso?:

    "Couldn't Mount File" "Disk Image File is Corrupt"The Hash didn't match!Downloaded again, still Hash don't match! I assume the Hash is old and the ios is newer?

    skydecboot - AWSOME SUGGESTION

    I downloaded the "Free Download Manager" and it worked like a champ. Downloaded the 1.2GB file in 18 mins...and HASH checks out.

    Many thanks for making the suggestion.
