Modding the Win7 install media for UEFI or any other purpose is not the intent of the utility.Some motherboard vendors released special tools to integrate their USB drivers into your Windows 7 installation image. Win7 will install fine after using the utility if installed in legacy mode. Allows Win7 to be installed even though it does not natively support xHCI. The ASUS Win7 tool does exactly what it is designed to do. The below method is the correct way to prepare USB stick, the file I uploaded is the file described below. It is a bit stupid that your software does not create this file, thus not making the installation bootable.Įxtract it and put it on the USB flash drive at "E:\efi\boot" or whatever drive letter your USB is mounted to. I remembered that I have a laptop lying around so I extracted the software from the DVD there.Īnyway, I noticed that your tool does not create a "EFI\Boot\boot圆4.efi" file which is required for Windows 7 to boot on a UEFI PC. I also tried the ASRock software but it does not work, it complains that path of driver folder is not valid, but there is not even any option to select the location of USB 3 driver.īy using ASUS EZ Installer and the Boot圆4.efi file, you are ready to go.
This file is located in the subdirectory "1" of the archive at 1\Windows\Boot\EFI\. The archive can be extracted with an archiving program. It is located in the 2.7 GByte large archive Install.wim in the subdirectory \sources. The file bootmgfw.efi can also be extracted from a Windows 7 (or higher) 圆4 - DVD. You can do this on the system partition under:Ĭ:\Windows\Boot\EFI for the file bootmgfw.efiĬopy it to the stick in the \EFI\BOOT\ folder and rename this file BOOTX64.EFI (notice the reverse order of efi and boot) If access to the stick is via a UEFI-enabled computer with a Windows 7 (or higher) 圆4, the Bootloader can be copied and renamed to the stick.
If this is not the case, you can copy the file to the stick by using one of the two methods below: Check if the file 'BOOTX64.EFI' via the path \EFI\BOOT\ is available on the stick.
