I see. What would be the size of your customized Windows 8 image? It should not be larger than mine. I believe that the USB drive has to be made bootable, before the Windows image is copied to it. After Windows installation, is there a way to reverse the process of making the USB drive bootable? In other words, I want to make the USB drive normal again and use it for file storage.

Guys, can anyone help me?

I used Win Toolkit v1.4.1.14 to integrate drivers (210 MB) and Windows Updates into a Windows 8 Pro image (3.33 GB). Windows Update files (903 MB) are from McRip / PointZero Windows 8 Repository. I enabled LDR/QFE mode, and did not employ component removal in Win Toolkit. 1. The end result is an image file of 4.80 GB, much larger than a DVD. Is it normal to have a large image size? How should I tweak the setting, so that the image size is smaller than a DVD without using component removal? 2. I may have wrongly thought that All-In-One Integrator can be used to rebuild just one image. Then again, when I checked the resultant image file, it still had 2 images in it: Windows 8 Pro and Windows 8. What should I do within All-In-One Integrator, to rebuild just one image? 3. I noticed that for hotfixes with both GDR and LDR branches, both branches are integrated into the Windows image. What should I do, if I only want only the LDR branch of such hotfixes are integrated into the image? 4. I used Unattended Creator to create Autounattend.xml, in which I did specify the computer name (Alvin-PC) and the serial key for Windows installation (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-J8CK4) among other items. During the Windows installation, I was prompted to key in the computer name and the serial key again, but other settings like username and time zone setting are automatically inserted. What is wrong with the Autounattend.xml? 5. Where can I set the default features (Similar to "Turn Windows features on or off.") inside Win Toolkit? Thank you for your assistance.

I hope that Windows 7 Toolkit can also remove fonts. The following text is a script I use to remove fonts, and it is originally from dead0 from MSFN forum. Thank you. Font Removal.txt
