3.4 Creating a Windows To Go Workspace Using Command Line
There is no wizard for non-Enterprise editions of Windows 8 or Windows 7, but a Windows To Go
workspace can be manually created using these operating systems. Windows 8 already has all the tools
needed by default, but Windows 7 requires the installation of the Automated Installation Kit (AIK)
which can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website:
It will be assumed that the Windows 8 Enterprise install media is mounted on drive E:, that the AIK has
already been installed for Windows 7, and that the Kanguru Mobile Workspace v100 device has been
inserted into the host.
1. Start the appropriate command prompt for use in subsequent steps. On Windows 8, simply start a
normal command prompt as an administrator. On Windows 7, start the Deployment Tools Command
Prompt, which is available from the Start Menu after the AIK is installed, as an administrator.
2. Run the commands below in an elevated command console to create two new partitions on the
USB drive using DiskPart. Substitute the correct drive number for the ‘##’ marks present in the
‘select disk’ command. The first (boot) partition created will be formatted FAT32 so that the drive
is bootable on legacy BIOS and UEFI hosts. The first partition on the disk will be assigned the Y:
drive letter, while the second will be assigned the Z: drive letter.
C:\> diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk ##
DISKPART> clean
DISKPART> create partition primary size=350
DISKPART> create partition primary
DISKPART> select partition 1
DISKPART> format fs=fat32 quick
DISKPART> attributes volume set nodefaultdriveletter
DISKPART> assign letter=y
DISKPART> active
DISKPART> select partition 2
DISKPART> format fs=ntfs quick
DISKPART> attributes volume set nodefaultdriveletter
DISKPART> assign letter=z
ISKPART> exit
C:\>
3. Create a new folder called “wim” in the C: by typing in:
○ Cd\
○ Md wim
