Here is how restored the win8.1 image – based on the HI8 How to Flash (Chinese) instructions. Download HI8 Windows Image Part1 & Part 2 from TECHTablets downloads. You need a usb hub, keyboard & 2x USB flash drives. #1 (min 4GB) Formated as FAT32 and named WINPE Unzip part one and place all the files and folders into the root of the flash drive #2 (min 16GB) Formatted as NTFS and named SOFTWARE Unzip part Two and copy the ‘image’ folder onto the this flash drive. > This is where I had problems. The install script finds the \image\install.wim file but then tries to install other files it from :\image\image\ folder?? I fixed this making another copy of all the files and putting them in :\image\image\.. Maybe someone else can explain what they did here as well? Just hit ESC when you boot the Chuwi and select ‘Boot Manager’ then EFI USB device. This will start installing the Windows 8.1 Image.

 

Hi,

 

I am trying this method to install win8 image. As the folder in USB2 is named “images”, I thought you misstyped “image” so I put the files in “images” and “images/images”

The script finds the disk 2 but can’t find Install.wim

Then it stops.

When I check disk 2 , I find it with altered partition table. The partition is now type GPT.

Why is it changing my partition type ? And why can’t find the Install.wim ?
