Error [112] - Not enough space error

I'm trying to build an image that integrates Dell drivers into a Windows 10 Pro USB, and a few unattended settings. I've tried putting the image directly on a 32GB USB stick that was set up as the Windows Media Creation USB for Window, and got the error [112] There is not enough space on the disk. Unload image - The image might be corrupted. D:\Sources\install.wim."So I next tried creating an ISO on my 1TB hard drive. Same error. So where/what is the space issue? Is it a WIM file that is too big? I've had success slipstreaming SP1 on a Windows 7 ISO before, but this is my first time trying drivers. Any clues? I'm using version 6146.
 
A 32gb key is 29GB once formatted so that is not the problem, if the creation tools formats the drive. This post may help. Nuhis comment #8.

There is a topic on iso downloads in the forum. :)
 
I'd rather run off the USB, since the laptop I'm using this image on doesn't have a built in DVD drive. Is there an NTLite log that I can see where/what the drive with no space it is referring to?
 
That's it, but nothing about why it fails. It stops at 22% every time when preparing the WIM. Nothing in the logs about space issues. :-/
 
1 TB drive, Windows shows 800 GB free. So I'm not sure what the space issue is. And the USB drive I've used is 32GB, with nothing other than the Windows Media Image stored on it. It has over 20GB of free space.
 
Are you using the usb stick just for the installs or are you using it to load into ntlite from?
 
Load into NTLite. I used the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB device, and then loading the WIM from there.
 
Laptop with a single hdd/ssd? Create a folder on c drive, C:\w10 then copy the files from the usb root to this folder then load into ntlite from there. It may take some time using a single hdd(especially if its 5400rpm).

Once you have copied those files to c drive w10, create a folder on the usb drive, callit backup then move all the files on the usb into that. When you have lited the image then copy the folder contents to the usb drive, you will have all the files created by the creation tool in the backup folder. :)
 
Did you miss a step in there? Copy to C:\w10, and work off that folder? Then copy them back to the USB once finished? Because your instructions sound like I copy from USB to HD, copy a backup to USB, work off HDD version, and copy it again to USB? So there's the original USB files, PLUS the new lited files on the USB?
 
Yeah, you got it. I use 1 usb key for installs so when i create a new image i backup/move the drive contents to a folder then copy over the new files, you can have w7 and w10 files providing you move them. The 1 thing you will have to be careful with is existing unattended files, you will have to rename then move them or setup may get confused over which one to use. "copy a backup to USB", move the usb files once copied to c.
 
Tried your suggestion, and I think I found the problem. My install.wim is too big for FAT32. I did the work on my HDD which is formatted as NTFS. When copying items over to the FAT32 USB, it failed saying the file was too big. I copied over the entirety of the CAB file that Dell provides with drivers and injected it into the install.wim, but I guess there are some items in there that I'll need to trim. Or try a FAT32 to NTFS conversion and see if that works.
 
Convert/save the install.wim to .esd format. My usb install drive is formatted to ntfs and the bios is set to legacy and uefi.
 
Just did an image with my USB drive converted to NTFS, and switched to legacy with secure boot off. After that was successful, went back to UEFI secure boot off and it failed to boot into Windows saying the hard drive wasn't recognized. Tried with UEFI and secure boot off, and now I can see the drive, but can't install saying the hardware doesn't support it. Looks like a driver issue somewhere, and when I switched from FAT32 to NTFS, it did "something". I'd prefer to get it to boot without making changes to legacy/uefi and secure boot, since there's a good possibility we'll be enabling encryption on our laptops at some point. But I'm making progress!
 
Could be a missing usb driver, i dont know uefi. Make sure you put usb drivers into the boot.wim-microsoft windows setup aswell as the install wim. Glad you are making progress. :) Oh, you may have to put trackpad driver into the boot wim too.
 
I have used the default media creation tool USB device, and it boots fine with FAT32, but since that came from Microsoft, it should. I also looked over my driver packs, and just the video file is 1GB. I may be able to remove that and then keep my install.wim file below the max FAT32 side. But that's probably better anyway, since I don't need to load the new PC full of drivers it won't need. I can probably also go through the default drivers and trim some there. But I know I'm on the right track now, and should have everything figured out shortly. Thanks for all the help Clanger!
 
Look at your video driver, 1gb is very big, my amd and nvidia drivers are around 400mb each installed, looks like your video driver also installs uneeded crap. What i would do is harvest the drivers from the running system, ntlite can import host drivers then add them to the image.
 
Laptops? Ok, update then back up the drivers from all of them then add them all into ntlite, it will warn if adding the same driver multiple times, then you have a single master image for all your machines with all the needed drivers. :)
 
Yes, looks like the best way to go is to build a clean image the old fashioned way on the laptop, and then just import the drivers from it, as well as any updates that may have recently been installed via Windows Update. I was seeing that some drivers were recognized on my laptop, but it's not the same as the ones I'm deploying, so I didn't want to pull drivers from there. My only concert was that a month or two from now, Dell is using different hardware and thus my image is out of date. So that's why I may drop all the items from the dell driver pack, excluding the video. That should give me a WIM fill that's not huge..
