What are we doing in this video and why?
We have to format the drive to FAT32 (FAT32 and MS-DOS are the same thing) so that the computer will be able to boot from it. And FAT32 has a weird limitation that I’m not knowledgeable about but basically FAT32 cannot store any single file larger than 4 gigabytes and one of these files is larger than 4 gigabytes (the install.wim file). That’s what the error at the beginning of the video is. This file is a Windows Image of the operating system that we need to install. So we need to split the file into different pieces so we can get it all on the drive. Logical, right? But we can’t split it any which way we gotta split it in the way that the rest of the installer can understand. This is where the wimlib tool comes in. Wimlib splits the .wim files the way they’re supposed to be split. You can’t just use the built in ‘split’ command in the terminal, it won’t work. So we properly split the .wim files with wimlib, replace the install.wim file with the multiple .swm files, and we’re all set!

Be sure to put a comment on this video on whether or not it worked for you so that others will (or won’t) find this video!
