I didn't say that you said that SARDU is stupid. I'm just explaining that is SARDU don't manage one file largest than 4 gb is becouse there is one limit of FAT32, not of SARDU.

Do you use USB3?

circaal,
I'm having the same issue as you where windows will not create the file system. Have you discovered a work around?

This is my solutions:
1. The most easy one.
Create as many partitions for each windows OS installer you have.
No problem with 4 Gb limit. (See the video)

2. Not easy but it works well for me.
All windows OS installers 32 and 64 bit in 1 Partition.
See the video basically you can avoid to create windows AIO over 4 Gb limit.

@copica: This solution is compatible with SARDU?

[copica]

I dont know how borrosu work.
For the second solusion I have, I can put so many directories (32 and 64 bit) as I want.
I am sure sardu is able to create so many directories also as long as a file not over 4 Gb limit.
So far I know windows AIO is created from at least two sources (32 & 64 bit) and the file Install.wim can be over 4 Gb (without trim). These two sources you can put in the sardu directories. So sardu will solve the problem that way.

About the first solution you can build into sardu with ntfs, you mentioned a while a go, not sure which sardu version.

Yes I use USB3 but I still can't install Windows 7 because I get the error
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate and existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"

@custom90gt

I have yet to receive any help with this issue and would love you guys input.

OK I just found a solution from a guy on the microsoft technet forums. Now this did work for me. It might not work for anyone else. But I'm installing win & as I'm typing this.

I had this ridiculous issue also, and found that most of the "fixes" involved removing everything USB related. As I was trying to install via USB, that really wasn't an option.
Eventually, I stumbled upon something that seems to be reliable and might help other people.
Now, pay attention, because it's extremely complicated!! I mean, Windows 7 is totally confused, clearly there's something very involved going on, right?
Well, try this insanely difficult procedure:
after booting and selecting the language, but before clicking the "Install" button, remove the USB drive, wait a second, then reinsert it.
Then you can proceed to the custom setup, create your partitions and Windows will create the blah-blah-blah that it needs and everything will be fine. For me, I've tried this 5 times on two different PC's with the same USB stick, and as long as I remove the USB drive (mine is a Patriot 16GB) and then reinsert it sometime before I get to the partition creating part, everything is fine.
Hopefully, this might help some other poor soul trying to install from USB.
It's pretty bloody sad that this got through QA... I mean, boot off a USB pen drive? How difficult is that to test? And the two places I've tried it are pretty vanilla machines, nothing terribly complicated or multiple devices (1 HDD, 1 DVD) machines. Pretty sad indeed.
Hope this helps someone.

Hope this works for you guys!

IfIRecallCorrectly, Microsoft started out with a bad attitude about installing or running Windows from USB-connected drives ... back in the Bad Old Daze before they saw the . You should be extremely grateful for that tech tip.
