Thanks for updates! Keep waiting for a method to increase X: partition from 1GB to say 10GB, since usb sticks are pretty cheap nowadays.

It's almost done, I just have more testing to do and it should be uploaded in a day or two. Secure boot is already supported, but recommended to be disabled.

can i install it on a external hd (1 tb), and make a partition for the remaining storage capacity? (1 partition for medicat and another for storage)? it will works?

You need to read the forum first.
Move all files of the ExFAT partition to another drive and then use some partition program to delete the ExFAT partition and create a NTFS partition using all the avaliable space. Then just move the files back

hey let me ask u something, I can use multiple partitions and still make medicat works? I mean, I have a external drive but I need use fat32 partition and ntfs (for some reasons), the fat32 partition can be a problem to medicat works properly?

FAT32 has a limitation where only files 4GB and under can be used, so any large ISOs like a multilingual, multi-version Windows installer could run into issues, for example. I would test your theory out on a spare drive and play around with it if I were you, before committing to anything serious. You don't want to lose any data I'm sure.

@Jayro how can I make a bootable with 10GB on X: partition and have iTunes 12.9.0.167 preinstalled? Would like that you tell us so I can add also additional software.

I don't think you're going to get iTunes installed and working properly on a Windows 10 Preinstall Environment... It's a supplemental OS for PC repair, not a replacement OS to use for daily tasks. It's mostly there for moving files, running tooks to fix what's on your C:\ drive, etc.

I see no reason why not, iTunes doesn't know it's running on WinPE. The only potential issue I could see is with drivers, as back on WinXP anything but networking and mass storage drivers didn't seem to work. But I think that's no longer an issue with modern WInPE? Haven't tested it though.

Well I'm certainly not going to try and put effort into making iTunes work on WinPE, as I have no need for iTunes in general, or at all. But best of luck to those who want to try.

I don't expect you to. But I don't expect it would be much of a problem for him to get it working himself either. Might not be as automated as he wants it though. But mounting a RAM drive and copying some files to it is not that hard, albeit temporary.
I replied to you in your Arduino thread BTW. Don't think you saw it :)

I bad at english so I explained wrong, let me clarify....
- I have a External Drive with 1 TB
- I need make two partitions of it (one fat32, and one NTFS).
- can i still install medicat on this drive and still make it works good? (it dont need be in the fat32 partition, it can be merged in the NTFS one).

I did it already several times, and iTunes works perfectly fine, however can't be installed onto X:, but on F:, for example. However it must install something to X: as well, because if I reboot the PE trying to launch iTunes again from F: does not work, I have to reinstall it each time. So if there were a way to to enlarge X: partition and make it persistent...some Linux distributions allow for persistent partitioning. Example:

Make A Kali Linux Persistent USB
