Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
The Windows Setup only accepts WHQL certified and no modded textmode drivers.
So you have to load or to integrate an original driver, which has been digitally signed by Microsoft. Once the OS hasbeen installed, you can change the in-use WHQL certified by a modded one (after having installed the related signature Certificate).

I recently ran into an issue when preparing a Windows 10 USB for installation on a system, that needed AHCI/RAID drivers with Win-RAID certificate, with no image or option to first install Win-RAID cert

Problem

  1. Some Windows 10 ISO install.wim files exceed 4GB and cannot be copied to a FAT32 USB (required for UEFI boot).

  2. AHCI/RAID drivers fail to install during setup unless the Win-RAID CA certificate is present.

Solution Steps

1. Split the oversized WIM file

Open PowerShell as Administrator. Create a temporary folder for split WIM files:

mkdir C:\ISOTemp

Split the WIM into smaller SWM files (~3.8GB each):

Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:D:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:C:\ISOTemp\install.swm /FileSize:3800

2. Prepare the USB

  • Format the USB as FAT32 for UEFI boot.

  • Copy all Windows installation files to the USB:

robocopy "C:\Users\YourUser\Downloads\Windows_10_20H2.3" "D:\" /E /COPYALL /R:2 /W:2
  • Replace the original install.wim with the split SWM files:
Copy-Item C:\ISOTemp\*.swm D:\sources\

3. Inject Win-RAID CA Certificate

Copy the certificate into the mounted offline Windows image:

copy "D:\Win-RAID CA Certificate\Win-RAID CA.cer" "C:\Mount\Windows\System32\Win-RAID CA.cer"

Load the offline registry hive and add the certificate:

reg load HKLM\Offline "C:\Mount\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE"
certutil -addstore -f -enterprise -user "Root" "C:\Mount\Windows\System32\Win-RAID CA.cer"
reg unload HKLM\Offline

4. Inject AHCI/RAID Drivers

Add the drivers to the offline image using DISM:

dism /Image:C:\Mount /Add-Driver /Driver:"D:\Drivers\AHCI\x64" /Recurse

5. Unmount the image

Commit the changes and unmount:

dism /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:C:\Mount /Commit

6. Boot Your USB

  • The USB is now FAT32, UEFI-bootable, and includes the necessary drivers and certificate.

  • Windows setup will correctly recognize AHCI/RAID hardware

Thank you very much Fernando
