I note the drive letter under Ltr column. I will select it with following command (#7):ģ.7) To get its drive letter, I'll check partition details with following command (#8): In this example I will capture disk 0 and save image on disk 1 (#3)ģ.4) Select the disk where image will be saved with following command, replacing # with actual disk number (#4):ģ.5) Check available partitions on selected disk with following command (#5):ģ.6) In this example case, I will save to Partition 4 (#6). Note the disk numbers for both the disk you want to capture to FFU image, and disk used to store the image file. To be sure we know correct drive letter for partition used to save the FFU image, we need DISKPART.ģ.2) When WinPE Command Prompt is shown, enter following command to start Windows Disk Partitioning Utility (#1 in screenshot):ģ.3) Enter following command to check disk numbers for all connected internal and external hard disks (#2): Part Three Capture FFU Image to local diskģ.1) Booting to WinPE might show the drive letters differently than what you are used to see when booting normally to Windows. Name of the captured FFU image can be whatever you'd prefer, but the extension must be.

When prompted, enter username and password to access that share.Ģ.4) Enter following command to capture Disk 0 (PhysicalDrive0) to mapped network share as FFU image file Win10.ffuĭism /capture-ffu /imagefile=W:\DesktopDisk.ffu /capturedrive=\\.\PhysicalDrive0 /name esktopDisk Map a shared network drive or folder with following command (#2):ĭrive letter W: in above command is just a suggestion, you can use any free letter. In that case, your only option is to use a network share.Ģ.3) When WinPE Command Prompt starts, it will run command wpeinit to initialize and enable networking (#1 in screenshot). Part Two Capture FFU Image to network shareĢ.1) Boot computer or virtual machine you want to capture from WinPE.Ģ.2) Quite often when cloning a disk, it is the only disk present and therefore cannot be used to store the cloned image.

Please notice that you can click / tap all screenshots in this tutorial to enlarge them.ġ.1) Although FFU imaging has been possible since version 1709, the native Windows 10 DISM cannot capture nor apply FFU images:ġ.2) To capture and apply FFU images, you will need to boot computer or virtual machine from Windows PE media. Part One: Create WinPE ISO or USB Part Two: Capture FFU Image to a network share Part Three: Capture FFU Image to local disk Part Four: Apply FFU Image Part Five: Sample scenarios

In this tutorial I will show how to capture and deploy an FFU image using DISM.Ĭontents Click links to jump to any part Capturing and deploying FFU images is fast, in fact much faster than using any third party software. FFU images are 100% exact copies of the disk, sector by sector. The smaller the disk on your reference machine therefore, the better images will be smaller and can be deployed to more destination machines.ĭISM with FFU is also practical if you have to replace an HDD or SSD just capture an FFU image, replace the disk, and apply image to new disk. This is the only con I can think of if your reference machine you used to build an image has a 512 GB disk, that captured FFU image can only be applied to destination machines with 512 GB or larger disks. How much storage capacity is used or free on that disk is irrelevant, only affecting the size of the captured FFU image file. This means that whereas a WIM file can be applied to any size HDD or SSD, an FFU image may only be applied (deployed) to disk which is the same size or larger than the captured disk. FFU captures a disk sector by sector to a file container that holds an exact image of the disk. Information Since Windows 10 version 1709, you can use DISM to capture and deploy FFU (Full Flash Update) images. How to: DISM - Clone and Deploy using FFU Image
