Problem creating Windows 11 bootable USB after splitting install.wim to swm

jerrymie007

I'm planning to recreate a bootable usb as my current bootable usb is corrupted perhaps due to the way how I created it. However, I have a problem. My UEFI only reads FAT32, and since Win 11 ISO file is more than 5gb, I'll be splitting it and converting it to .swm using DISM command. However, my issue is Rufus only reads ISO file. My question: what should I do after successfully created the .swm file? I am confused since the mounted ISO file is read-only file and Rufus does not allow me to select the folder on desktop (containing all the files and folders from the mounted ISO) and use it as ISO replacement. Problem prolly occurred when I was creating the bootable usb earlier because I used ImgBurn app to turn the folder into an ISO file before successfully uploaded it to Rufus to create a bootable USB. Need your advice on this one.

You should create a Windows bootable USB from an ISO file. Copying an individual file and folder will not work.
