I am trying to create bootable USB drive from MSDN Windows Server 2016 ISO file but one of the files in the image named install.wim is 4.38 GB in size so FAT32 drive will not work nor can I create a bootable DVD drive because size of the image is 5.26 GB.

When I create the drive using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool the drive remains NTFS but it is not bootable. When I use UltraISO it always formats the drive as FAT32 and is bootable but install fails because intall.wim file is invalid.

What is the solution to this problem? Is there a tool that will create bootable NTFS USB drive I can use to install Windows Server?

Did the simple thing and bought a dual layer DVD, burned the image and installed from there.

Microsoft has a tutorial on how to split the large wim files using Microsoft Deployment Toolkit that is totally convoluted...
