Step 3: Capture Partition Images using DISM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capture images for each customized partition.

1. At the Windows PE command prompt, capture the images by using the DISM command together with the /captureImage option. For example,

Copy

Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:c:\my-windows-partition.wim /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:"My Windows partition"

Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:s:\my-system-partition.wim /CaptureDir:S:\ /Name:"My system partition"

 For more information about using the DISM tool to capture an image, see DISM Image Management Command-Line Options.

Step 4: Save Images to the Network

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save your .wim files to your network or another safe location.

1. Connect to your distribution share by using the net use command. For example,

Copy

net use n: \\Server\Share

 If prompted, provide your network credentials.

2. Copy the partitions to your network share. For example,

Copy

md N:\Images\

copy C:\my-windows-partition.wim N:\Images\

copy c:\my-system-partition.wim N:\Images\
