Macrium Reflect: Graphics resolution too large in BIOS mode

JoeB said:

I'd like to try this. Where is the macrium boot.wim and how do I add the drivers to it? My experiment seems to confirm that adding the drivers would work.

The default is C:\boot\macrium\WA10K\media\sources\boot.wim I believe but I saved mine on D drive.

To add drivers to wim you need to mount it, add the driver(s) and then unmount it again. If you put the .inf file(s) for the driver(s) you want to add in C:\temp\Drivers it would be like this (in powershell)

Code:

# Mount WIM
Mount-WindowsImage -ImagePath "C:\boot\macrium\WA10K\media\sources\boot.wim" -index 1 -Path "C:\temp\mount"

# Add any device drivers (.inf files)
Add-WindowsDriver -Path "C:\temp\mount" -Driver "C:\temp\Drivers\" -recurse

# Unmount the WinPE image
Get-WindowsImage -Mounted -ErrorAction Stop | ForEach-Object { Dismount-WindowsImage -Path $_.Path -Save -ErrorAction Stop }

Thanks a lot. I'll have a go tonight. Do I add all the files that are in the graphics driver folder to it i.e. everything in that image I posted plus the audio folder which is omitted in that pic? I will study that link you posted.

Yes. Just make sure the folder contains a something.inf file and not just a .exe.

Yes, I'm aware that the .inf needs to be the first thing it sees. I think it's the one called autostart.inf
