  1. I have USB HDD and working well.

    I also have USB SSD but winsetupfromusb won’t find it.

    Does your software supports SSD ????? If not, then you have bug and should fix it.

    • Go to advanced options and select display disks on all interfaces.
      Then be very careful what disk you select!

  2. WinSetupFromUSB is one of the few tools that supports booting with secure boot enabled, thanks for that.

    Acronis or Macrium and other boot ISOs work fine but they only include the boot.wim.

    With Hiren’s Boot CD or Winbuilder ISOs, the virtual DVD drive is mounted but it is not assigned to the drive letter (Y:) and thus the programs from the ISO are not mounted.

    Can this be changed?

    I have extracted a Winbuilder PE into root of the USB drive
    The virtual DVD drive is not visible but the programs are on the RAMDisk (B:) and Boot (X:). The disadvantage, you can only use an All in One ISO.
