Background If you have tried to install Windows 7 using a USB Flash Drive on a system that only has USB 3.0 ports, you might have found that you couldn’t get past the Language Select screen of the installer as your keyboard and mouse didn’t work. I recently had this problem when trying to install Win 7 onto my Gigabyte Brix XM12-3227. The keyboard and mouse worked great in the BIOS, but as soon as the Windows 7 installation media loaded and presented that familiar Language Select screen, I had no cursor or keyboard. I tried a couple of other things, like grabbing an older PS/2 keyboard and connecting it via a PS/2 to USB adapter. Same problem. It was at this point I decided to start Googling my problem, and low and behold I quickly discovered that Windows 7 does not have drivers for USB 3.0 built in. In fact, it doesn’t even know what to do with those ports once the BIOS hands over control to the installer image.
If your, that is probably the easiest option. However, my GIGABYTE BRIX had no such option that I could find. Well, I didn’t give up, I knew there had to be a way to add the necessary drivers to the installer, and it turns out there is! Adding support for USB 3.0 also works great if you want to install from a fast USB 3.0 flash drive! The entire install takes about 5 minutes with one of those. Step by Step Walk-Through 1.
Get the right USB 3.0 Drivers For your installer to work with your computer, make sure you grab the proper USB 3.0 drivers. My motherboard used Intel USB 3.0 drivers, and so I downloaded the latest version from Intel’s site. Look up your Motherboard’s drivers and see which ones you need. For convenience, I’ve added the latest drivers (as of the time of writing) for the most common USB 3.0 controllers. If you are unsure which drivers you need or have multiple computers, you can grab all of them.
Once you download the drivers, we will need to make a folder for the drivers we want to slipstream into our installation media. For the purpose of this example lets just call it “USB3 Fix.” Inside that folder create two separate folders: “USB3” and “mount”. Now extract all the drivers into that USB3 folder. Get the “boot.wim” and “install.wim” files. Thanks for all the comments pointing out that you also need to update the install.wim file!.
Could you described the last sentence;”Simply place the modified “boot.wim” and “install.wim” file back into the “sources” directory on your Win 7 iso bootable USB”. My wint 7 iso bootable usb was made from an original DVD.
Next, we need to get the files we need to install/add the drivers on. Open up your USB thumb drive that has your Windows 7 image on it and navigate to the Sources folder. Move the “boot.wim” file and “install.wim” into your “USB3 Fix” folder we created earlier.
Update the “boot.wim” and “install.wim” Files Open up your cmd shell as an administrator. (Click Start on Windows 7, or Windows Key + Q on Windows 8, type in “cmd” and then right-click on the cmd application and choose Run as Administrator.) Once open, navigate to the USB3Fix folder in the cmd shell, and type in the following commands in this order to update the boot.wim file. Dism / cleanup - wim After that command finishes, try mounting the wim that was giving you errors again and adding the drivers.Thanks to Jason for pointing out the dism /cleanup-wim command. For more information about troubleshooting wim mounting see. Replace the “boot.wim” and “install.wim” files Now you’re done! Simply place the modified “boot.wim” and “install.wim” file back into the “sources” directory on your Win 7 iso bootable USB thumb drive and everything should work as expected!
Hope this saves people the 30 minutes it took me to find a solution that worked! Thanks go to Rakeesh, who originally posted this workaround at. After several hours spend searching for an answer to no avail I finally figured it out. I had been searching and seen a lot of post talking about antivirus possibly blocking it. I tried disabling both my antivirus and my firewall with no success. What ended up working for me was going into each driver sub folder all the way down to each individual file “which can take a long ime if you have a lot of drivers” right clicking on each file and bringing up the properties of each file.
When I did this I seen the issue. Windows was blocking this file because it came from another computer. I clicked unblock and now it works just fine! Now I just hope I have all the drivers I need. Thanks for the guide – it was easy to follow.
I’ve successfully prepared Windows 7 ISO to install it on Acer Extansa EX2519, though I had to integrate other Intel USB 3.0 drivers into it – the ones for Intel® 8/9/100 Series and Intel® C220/C610 Chipset Family ( grab them at ). Here is a handy Windows batch script to process multiple images of install.wim (adjust it for your needs): for /L%%I in (1, 1, 9) do ( dism /mount-wim /wimfile:install.wim /index:%%I /mountdir:mount dism /image:mount /add-driver:”Drivers” /recurse dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:mount /commit ). This worked fine with boot.wim successfully adding drivers dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c: wim boot.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c: mount dism /image:C: Mount /add-driver /driver:C: driver /recurse dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:C: mount /commit however, install.wim wount add the drivers dism /image:C: Mount /add-driver /driver:C: driver /recurse dism /image:c: mount /add-driver:c: driver /recurse (alternative try) results in a 15105 error I was basicaly doing excatly the same, so anyone have a clue wtf it wount work with install.wim when it worked fine with boot.wim //regards.
What I have found is using Rockers Team RT Se7en Lite takes the coding at the prompt out of the equation. Collect the following drivers – see below: a. Go to your mobo Mfg website and download the specific USB 3.0 drivers for your board., beware there could be multiple mfgs for one board ex: ASUS uses both Asemedia and Intel along with one other b. Go to Intel and download all of the floppy F6 based drivers. They are not board specific.
If your running an NVMe Drive go to for instance Samsung or Intel and download those drivers as well. Unzip them and pile all of the above in one folder, I called mine USBFIX they way you know you got the right drivers is when you unzip them they will have ext like inf, ini, dll, etc and they will not be in.exe format. Next head to the web and hunt down Rockers Team RT Se7en Lite (actual spelling btw) download the 64 bit version it could be a bit harder to find. And finally have a virgin copy of windows of your flavour ISO.
For the instructions on running RT seven head to the web for that it is fairly easy to wing but lengthy to type out. It takes prolly 15 min to make a bootable USB drive with drivers integrated into it. This app is not new in fact it has been discontinued. But it still does the job for Win 7, 8, 10. I have used the OP’s way just to know what it takes to do it then found the fast and easy way with the app.
Hope it works. On step 2 of the dism process for install.wim I was getting the following errors- Installing 1 of 6 – C: USB3 Fix usb3 Drivers HCSwitch x64 iusb3hcs.inf: Error – An error occurred. The driver package could not be installed. For more information, check for log files in the inf folder of the targ et image.
Going into mount/windows/inf and checking the setupapi.offline.log I saw this error: Failed to import driver package into Driver Store. Error = 0x00000005 Which lead me to this site – With the resolution here – After running streams on my USB3 folder it fixed everything and I was able to add the drivers to install.wim! I have a noob question: I have USB2 on my motherboard and can install Win7 without streamlining, but I’d like to be able to install from the USB3 ports. Problem is, it’s an AMD board without the original driver disc. The Renesas driver I downloaded for my motherboard has a different directory structure and does not have a neat “Drivers” folder as in the example given above. Neither does the Renesas driver downloaded from the link given here. The sub-directories and files are all very different.
What do I do? This is what worked for me because the Intel or gigabyte tool does not work for me. 1) Prepare ISO windows 7 2) Download NTlite – 3) unzip the file to a folder using 7-zip 4) Open NTlite - select Add folder - select “image folder” with unzip Windows 7 iso - “Source list” select “mounted image” and click to “load” - after loaded system select “drivers” in menu - click to “Add” and load INF drivers - select “Apply” in menu - select “Create ISO” and click to a “Process” 5) Create bootable flash, using “Rufus” software. 6) Download the Gigabyte Windows Image Tool: 7) Open the Tool, No source, Destination Path of the USB Drive, Mark Add UDB Drivers. Now you may install Windows 7 When I don´t used NTlite software I solved problem in first part of installation by Gigabyte (chose language etc) but it stuck on finishing installation where you enter computers name (cannot enter because again no keyboard or mouse). So I use NTlite and solved problem in second part of installation.
Hope this helps! I can’t thank you enough for this information.
It allowed me to get past the install screen with a working mouse and keyboard. Unfortunately when I get to the Set Up Windows screen I no longer have a working mouse and keyboard. I’ve recreated the USB stick multiple times using both the Intel USB3 drivers and the HP drivers. Still no joy. I’ve tried every tool to make the USB stick that I could find thinking that maybe I was not using the correct commands even though I was copying and pasting them into the Admin command prompt. I have even tried to load the drivers using the Repair Windows as part of the install process. Still no mouse or keyboard to Set Up Windows.
This is a brand new HP Envy 750-120. I really need to get Windows 7 on it but I’m out of ideas at this point. I did try to update (downgrade) the BIOS to the Win7 BIOS but it won’t allow it because I have a newer BIOS on there. Anyone have an idea on what I’m missing? Thank you for anyone who can help me see the forest for the trees. I’m probably missing something obvious. Both HP Envy 750-120 & HP ProDesk 400 G2 Desktop Mini PC are skylake systems which are the 6th generation processors with 100 series chipset.
Intel’s USB drivers are divided into 2 groups, 7 series chipset (3rd generation processor, Ivy Bridge), and everything else after that (8,9,100 chipset, 4-6th generation processor, haswell/broadwell/skylake). The link provided above is solely for the 7 series chipset. Anything later than that you need a different driver. Note that you cannot include both set of Intel USB drivers in the Windows 7 installation, they will clash, just pick the one that you need. For most people that should be the driver for the 8/9/100 series chipset.
If someone figured out how to resolve the clash, I’ll be interested to know. It probably has to do with Intel using the same name for both set of drivers.
Try this link. Hi mate thanks heaps for the help!
I was able to add the drivers to the boot.wim file successfully but was unable to add the drivers to any version of the install.wim file as it came up with errors, after a lot of digging this was because when you download the driver files from the manufacturer website your computer will automatically “Block” these files/inf files so you will need to go through the driver files one by one and right click on them, select properties then there should be a check box down the bottom to unblock the file. 2016-04-06 00:07:36, Info DISM DISM.EXE: Executing command line: dism /image:mount /add-driver:”usb3″ /recurse 2016-04-06 00:07:36, Info DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=1920 Getting the collection of providers from a local provider store type. – CDISMProviderStore::GetProviderCollection 2016-04-06 00:07:36, Info DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=1920 Provider has not previously been encountered.

Thank you so much! Hi Trond, Sorry about those screenshots. They should be fixed now, for some reason I needed to relink to the original images as wordpress moved something around during the last update. As far as the reasoning behind the indexes, if you need to run the Windows Recovery Environment then you will need to add the drivers to the Windows PE image (index 1 in the boot.wim) as well. I’m pretty sure all Windows 7 installation media has the same boot.wim, so index:2 should work for everyone. However the install.wim is different based on what version you have: All in One, Enterprise, Ultimate, Professional, Home Premium, Home, etc.
So you will need to add it to the index that you are going to be installing so that after the initial boot.wim finishes copying over the files and you are presented with the initial “Welcome to your computer / first boot setup” screen you will still be able to use your usb devices. You can skip the install.wim if the machine will have internet access as it can download the USB3 drivers from Windows Updates.
However in my experience it seems like a lot of onboard NICs will not work until the drivers are installed from the manufacturer, and so the machine will not have internet access on first boot even if it is plugged in. Kind of a catch-22 unless you install the NIC drivers OR USB3 drivers before hand. Check out these links there is indeed a utility that will do all that above in a GUI. – this really works well and does a whole lot more. I am still discovering just what I can do with it. It speeds up the drivers thing no end and better than typing long strings.
OBTW should you have and ESD file look around for a decoder to extract the wim files and either run the above commands and inst. Or use this util. Both work equally well.
The ESD decoder is in a few places and even M/soft recommend it. Strange them recommending basically a Linux utility but it works well as all the latest OS isos from M/soft come with ESD files just however with DISM and the decoder depending on your machine it does take time good fixs they maybe but time consuming they are once again awesome web site you put me on the right track and OBTW I fixed the UEFI Win 7 boot issue with a little known utility called win2boot (Linux again) once again thx a bundle ? Bob. Hi can I really need some help on this same problem: I was able to successfully complete boot.wim & Get-WimInfo stage.
BUT when i start the install.wim: Error: 0xc1420127 “The specified image in the specified wim is already mounted for read/write access” And when I skip to the next step Add-Driver: Error: 2 “Unable to access the image. Make sure that the image path and the Windows directory for the image exist and you have Read permissions on the folder.” Note: -I have open Admin:Command Prompt Pls desperately need some assistance. Hello everyone, first of all thanks a lot to Travis for this guide. Second, reading all those comments I found myself in need to write this – I managed to install Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 EN with no problems following this instructions (someone said it is not possible for Enterprise). I was installing Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 EN on NUCi3SYH. Created bootable stick from iso using Iso2Disc tool. After that, copied boot.wim and install.wim.
I copied only files from my Drivers Win7 x64 folder, not whole Drivers like in gude, rest done as instructed and installed os with no problem. At first I did copy whole Drivers folder, and managed to get my keyboard and mouse working on first setup screen (language settings) and started installation but it crashed after copying files, but also I used another tool – Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool, not Iso2Disc, so I can’t say for sure was the problem because whole Drivers folder or because boot cration tool – I would say it was because of tool. I followed all the steps for Boot.wim and no errors occurred. When I got to the install.wim the Drivers would not patch successfully. So me being me I tried out the Bootable USB with the new Boot.wim file and I could install windows On a Skylake System. Mouse and Key worked!
Only thing is, when it came time to enter in the name of the pc and all the rest after the initial setup(install.wim), the keyboard and mouse didn’t work Could it be that I need a Untouched Copy of windows 7 ISO? I tried patching the files with some version my friend got.
Don’t know if it was just the trial or a torrent. Other people have successfully accomplished what i am trying to do, patching the files that is. Pic of unsuccessful patch. I have had the same problem as Ecto. 5 error when attempting to add the drivers to the install file. Here is what is in my dism log: 2015-11-02 19:45:36, Info DISM DISM.EXE: 2015-11-02 19:45:36, Info DISM DISM Image Session: PID=7260 Disconnecting the provider store – CDISMImageSession::FinalOnDisconnect 2015-11-02 19:45:36, Info DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=7260 Disconnecting Provider: WimManager – CDISMProviderStore::InternalDisconnectProvider 2015-11-02 19:45:36, Info DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=7260 Disconnecting Provider: FolderManager – CDISMProviderStore::InternalDisconnectProvider 2015-11-02 19:45:36, Info DISM DISM Provider Store: PID=7260 Found the OSServices.

Stop logging. – CDISMProviderStore::InternalDisconnectProvider. I have found a solution to part of the problem. I had to go to each file in the drivers folder, which if you are following this guide is in C: users brian desktop usb3 fix usb 3 drivers.
Use the path that corresponds to your specific situation. Once there, you have to modify each file in each folder like so: right clickpropertiesunblockapply/ok the unblock button should be towards the bottom of the properties frame. This allowed me to complete the add driver step for the install.wim file without errors. Another thing to consider is to try modifying both index 1 and index 2 of the boot.wim file. After doing all this, i was able to proceed with windows installation.
I got excited, but then when the installer reached 95% on the expanding files step, it would come up with another error. An 0x80070570 i think it was. I pulled my hair out for bit, then succeeded after simply reformatting the USB drive, re installing the iso on it, and modify the drivers again, and also DISABLING quick boot in the bios. Im not sure which step helped the most, but i now have it installed and running.
Appreciate all the comments and work on this tutorial. I thought for sure it would fix my same problem with my Zotac ci320. Unfortunately, I still can’t get past the first installation screen on Win 7 (lanuage screen; no mouse, no keyboard). I did try to use Travis process to load the USB3 drivers that came with my Zotac box, and the process seemed to go very smoothly (thanks to the well outlined steps above), but I still am stuck.
I lose the USB power (keyboard and mouse shut down) during the ‘windows loading’ screen. I can actually see the power light go off as Windows is trying to load. I can’t figure out in my BIOS if there’s some way to turn off the USB3 and force it to work as USB2 – I keep trying different combinations of enable/disabling the “legacy’, “XHC1” and “EHC1′ settings in the BIOS, but no joy yet. My next step is to try and contact ZOTAC directly for support. Actually solved my issue. For me, my windows 7 install disk has both x86 and x64 versions of windows. When I applied the fix below to the boot.wim file, what I really needed to do was apply it to the bootx64.wim file (both are in the ‘source’ folder).
And as someone else mentioned below, you ALSO need to load the drivers into the ‘Install.wim’ file using this exact same process outlined below – just changing the file name from ‘boot.wim’ to ‘install.wim’ (and ‘bootx64.wim if you’re installing the x64 version). After all that, I did get USB 3 working and installed Win 7 successfully. I would never have found a solution for my problem without this post. Thanks for taking the time to work this out and post the solution. I did run into the same problem that several others here had where once the installation finishes and the freshly installed Windows system boots it has no USB3 drivers. After a little poking around I found the source of the problem and a solution.
The problem is that adding the USB3 drivers to the boot.wim file only enables the installer executable to have access to the new drivers. It does not provide those drivers in a way that they can actually be installed to the new system. To do that, you also need to add the USB3 drivers to the install.wim file (in the same folder on the memory stick). It gets a little more complicated here because (at least in my case) there are several different images in the install.wim file. You can see a list of them using the command dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.wim In my case there were four. I don’t know enough to work out which one would actually be used during installation, so I separately modified each of the four images. (Use the same three dism commands identified in the original post, but substitute “install.wim” for “boot.wim”, and where the first command says “/index:2” change the number to the index of the image you want to modify.
As I said, I did all four. If you know which one will be used you may only need to do one.
My target system was a Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013). It doesn’t have an Ethernet port, so I couldn’t just wait for Windows Update to fix the problem. And the hard drive is soldered to the motherboard, so patching it from a secondary system wasn’t an option.
And you can’t disable USB3 compatibility in the BIOS on newer Macs. If you got here because you’re also trying to install on a Mac (without Boot Camp), be aware that the standard Win 7 ISO also doesn’t have a suitable wifi driver. I happened to have a different memory stick that Boot Camp had built and it had installed the necessary wifi driver. After Installing Win 7 using the ISO as modified for the USB3 drivers, I plugged in that second memory stick, navigated to the bootcamp drivers directory, and found the appropriate driver (I think in a Broadcom directory).
There were a number of other drivers also not in the Win 7 ISO, but with USB and WIFI working I was able to sit back and watch Windows Update fix everything else. I’ve been trying for 8 hours now, no hope. Basically I followed your steps hoping that will change something:) I am booting from a usb pen onto a dell xps 15z, I pass the language screen and then it gets stuck on “select the driver to be installed” showing this error:” no device driver were found. Make sure the the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click ok”. At this point, the only solution I figured out, I inserted a bootable dvd( that won’t boot on its own) and there it does find the windows versions I want to install, I click on it, finds my Hdd, does the partition ( without allocation the system files though?!) and the next error that pops up is this: ” setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition” please help! It sounds like the driver wasn’t installed with Windows for some reason. Does anything happen if you unplug / re-plug your keyboard and mouse?
If you can get access to the hard drive with a boot cd or mount it to a different computer or something, you can try extracting the USB 3.0 drivers to your Driver Store folder You might have to prestage it on another windows 7 machine first and copy it over If you have an ethernet port, the easiest solution might be to just connect the machine to the internet and let windows update do it’s thing when you connect the usb devices. It might work at that stage of the install. That’s what I can think of off the top of my head, I can probably provide more information if you can provide what Motherboard / Keyboard / Mouse you are using. I have a problem and i hope that you can help me. I have about two weeks of internet search with no solution. I have a notebook lifeboookah532/g21, but the name is irrelevant in this matter.
Internal hard disk has 6 bad sectors but it also reports 199 delays which renders it almost unusable. Dont have money to buy a new one right away, maybe in march, but not now. I also have an external verbatim encased samsung 1tb hdd, which works fine. I managed to install windows 7 x64 ultimate on it with the help of wintousb and now i can boot into windows from it. So far so good. My notebook has 1 usb 2.0 and 3 usb 3.0. The problem comes from the fact that i can only boot from the 2.0 usb!!!
When i try to boot from one of 3.0 usb, after windows logo i get blue screen. Now comes the big question: is there a workaround (similar to this one for installer) for my installed windows to boot from 3.0 usb, or i will remain on usb 2.0 until i will buy a new internal hdd?!
Sounds like you and Shaun are both having the same issue. Were you able to get it working?
I didn’t have that issue when I ran through it and don’t really have the time or energy to re-image my brix to troubleshoot it, sorry! It sounds like windows was able to see and use the drivers for the installation process, but for some reason didn’t install them so that when it was booting from the hard drive afterwards it no longer had the drivers.
You might be able to mount the disk on a different computer, and put the drivers in the? Another thing you might try is having the computer connected to the internet via an ethernet cable. Windows Updates is usually already running when it gets to the post install setup screen.
Hei Expertz, I was creating a single wim file for multiple architechture ( combining win 7 Enterprise 32 bit & 64 bit in single wim file). I followed steps 1 Consider a 32-bit ISO & 64-bit ISO of Windows 7 Enterprise 2 Copy the source files of 32 bit ISO in Technician Machine in a folder “WindowsDistribution” 3 Copy the install.wim file from the 64-bit ISO & put in another folder “windows64-bit” 4 Run as admin Deployment Imaging Tool Environment command prompt. 5 Run the following command to export the 64 bit install.wim file to 32 bit windowsdistribution folder. Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:c: windows64-bit install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:c: windowsdistribution sources install.wim /DestinationName:'Fabrikam 64-bit Image' Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.10586.0 Exporting image 100.0% The operation completed successfully. 6 so install.wim file in 'windowsdistribution' folder conatins both versions of windows 7 enterprise.
Now, My goal is to create an ISO file which contains both versions of windows 7 Enterprise from the wim file I created above. So, can DISM command do that for me???
People are using oscdimg.exe found after installing WADK 10 to convert install.wim to bootable iso image. I also tried that: Program Files (x86) Windows Kits 10 Assessment and Deployment Kit Deployment Toolsoscdimg -n -m -bC: windowsdistribution boot etfsboot.com C: windowsdistribution c: outputISO win7entx86x64.iso OSCDIMG 2.56 CD-ROM and DVD-ROM Premastering Utility Copyright (C) Microsoft, 1993-2012.

Or DISM can do that too.
