Hi All,
I just installed a 8.1 Enterprise on WinToGo disk.
And so I of course tried to connect the drive on several different machines, just to test if it was really working on any machine or not: of course it worked great each time.
Thus I realized something: each time you connect the WinToGo on a new machine, it will first install new files to adapt itself to the host so it can run smoothly.
Therefore each time we do that, the available free space on the disk is of course decreasing.
So here comes the question : is there a way to clean up the WinToGo drive to remove all the files which match a host we won't use anymore ?

Hoping someone will know, I thank you in advance for your feedback.

KR,
David

(Also just for information for those who would be interested : my WinToGo drive is an SSD Crucial M500 240Gb, placed in an IcyBox USB 3.0 compatible UASP.
And honestly this Win 8.1 ToGo drive works much faster than my current Win 7 x64 host system standing an WD500gb !! Really awesome )

Hello
can anyone post the link of the Windows 8/Windows 8.1 ISO download that you have used with WinToUsb?
Thanks

Hi when i try to install win 7 on my usb flash drive it gives me this error please help..
DISK PARTITION OR SPACE IS INSUFFICIENT.(0x000000C205620000)

ok heres the problem I have used wintousb to install windows 7 64 bit on a PNY 128gb USB 3.0 flash drive. the program does the install fine, very slowly but fine. I have tried using both an ISO and my install disc the problems is the drive wont boot every time I try I get the "Disk read error Press cntl-alt-del" I have formatted the drive to be bootable but every time I use the program it insists on reformatting the drive again and I think its wiping out the boot sector so my basic question is what the heck is going on here? and how do I fix this problem? I just bought this drive specifically for this purpose so I don't want to waste $50.00 so could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here.....

I prepare the Windows 7 on USB drive and it work perfectly until I have update the OS from Windows Update to SP1.

I try to bypass the SP1 update by installing Windows 7 to a internal drive and update it to SP1. Afterwards, I create a WIM image for the internal drive. Using the WIM file, I create a USB drive again with WinToUSB and it works again.

I think that the driver for usb boot may be corrupted by the SP1.

Can we update the registry or repair the WinToUSB driver whenever the USB drive is destroyed by the update in the further avoiding to start the process of create USB drive from the starting again.

Hello, I have bought a sandisk extreme pro usb 3.0 with 128 GB

Thanks

I work as an IT manager in ARTEA - Italy (government agricultural paying agency of CEE structural funds).

Your product is the best that i found on the internet. It's extremely interesting for troubleshhooting on a PC using an clear and not infected windows operative system. May you explain some concepts about the architecture of WintoUsb ? I am sure that all the people using it like me will appreciate for Learning purpouse about the argument!

Hello,

just wondering if it's somehow possible to put on a single USB stick Win 7, Win 8 and Linux live on the same USB stick and through a bootloader i can select which one i want to boot.

Hi!

Is there any chance to upgrade the Windows Technical Preview to the latest preview version if using a Windows-To-Go USB drive created by WinToUSB? I'm asking because the default upgrade mechanism in Windows Technical Preview doesn't work for me. Instead, Windows keeps telling me that it can't install to a USB drive when I try to install the newest preview. If, however, you have to do a complete reinstall for every new version of the preview, the whole idea of installing the technical preview to a USB drive seems rather pointless to me.

Any ideas?

Windows 8 certified USB sticks are different to normal USB sticks as they have the "fixed" rather than "removable" drive status set.

This is so Windows 8 Enterprise can create Windows 8 to Go on a (certified) USB stick.

I guess in theory, Wintousb should be able to create a 64 bit UEFI based (windows 8/8.1 or 10 preview) usb setup with a (fixed status) usb stick. We know it cannot do this for normal (removable status) usb sticks.

However, Windows 8 certified usb sticks are pricey, and I was wondering if anybody has tried using Wintousb with such a stick (before I decide to invest in one),
