bootmgfw.efi
from customized Windows 7 ISOs withinstall.esd
instead ofinstall.wim
- Add some timeouts for partition layout and new file system to settle
- Unless selected explicitly, default mode is 'mbr' now

windows2usb v0.2
Major software update which brings better compatibility and bug fixes.
- MBR mode was reworked and now uses FAT32 and installs both BIOS and UEFI bootloaders. This mode is the most compatible and recommended. No more issues with large install.wim files and Secure Boot.
- GPTUEFI mode was renamed to GPT+UEFINTFS (NTFS + FAT32 partition with uefi-ntfs bootloader)
- GPT mode now uses FAT32 partition and is a pretty good choice when BIOS compatibility is not required (this mode still does not install BIOS bootloader as original Windows bootmgr does not support GPT partition table, although BIOS booting from GPT is technically possible and supported by third-party loaders like syslinux or GRUB).
- New GPTNTFS mode which is GPT but with NTFS partition. Will work only on motherboards with NTFS driver included.
- Wimsplit utility is used to split 4+ GiB install.wim file to fit FAT32 partition.
- Added informational message if unmounting takes enormous amount of time (#3 (comment))
