WIN8 Installation Tutorial The second step is to extract the Win8 image file in the Install.wim to D disk.
WIN8 Installation Tutorial Step two: Extract the Install.wim in the Win8 image file into D disk
There are a number of ways to copy install.wim from a mirrored file in the Windows 8 consumer preview to D disk, one of which is to extract the Win8 image file (ISO format) directly into D disk using the WinRAR and other decompression tools, Then in the unpacked Sources folder inside the Install.wim copy to D packing directory (in fact this step is redundant, but I am accustomed to this cumbersome but foolproof and convenient to install their own way).
The extraction Install.wim method described below is the virtual CD-ROM loading image file method, which means that the WIN8 mirror is loaded with the VDM virtual CD-ROM in the generic PE3.0, and then character found install.wim this file in the virtual disk.
After opening the VDM virtual optical drive, select Mount, and then select the Win8 mirror file of u disk.

After you locate the Install.wim file, then copy it to the D-packing directory.
Locate the Install.wim file and copy it
Paste
Ensure that the copied Install.wim file has 2.08G (32-bit version)
I note: I have tried to directly load Win8 image files to virtual optical drive, directly with Win$man to install, the results of the installation process error, so just put Install.wim in D disk, to ensure that the installation process is foolproof.
The second step is relatively simple, when you complete the entire WIN8 installation process, you will find that the third step is the simplest.

Win$man is a Windows System installation tool that supports the installation of all versions of Windows systems that are still in use. So using Win$man to install Win8 is one of the best tools!
After you open Win$man, select Install.wim on D disk and select the version of Windows 8 Customer Preview (only one version is optional).
Select the Install.wim on D disk
If the C disk is not formatted or has any extra files (a file is not available), Win$man will alert the user to the format.
