Problem Mounting offline image and Installing Language Pack

The following was taken from the WGU forum. I have no clue what the problem is.

I'm having yet another problem in the ABV1 book (MS Press Training Kit). On Page140-141, Mounting an Offline Image and Installing Language Packs, step 5 the command "imagex /mountrw w:\myimage.wim 1 c:\mountedimages" when I enter this command I get about 50 error messages for files saying "An ObjectID is in use on this volume for file name Committing or capturing the image will lose ObjectID information. Please mount or apply to another volume." Then It says "Error c:\mountedimages\VHDs\myvhd.vhd (error = 112) Error mounting image. There is not enough space on the disk"


Starting with the disk space problem, is it saying C: doesn't have enough space? I think there is only 14 gb left on it and the .wim file is like 24 gb. I've looked for any files I can delete but I couldn't find any.

About the error messages, I may have made the .wim image from the technician computer, would that cause the problem. Should I make a new image to try to solve this? Also my W: us listed as disk 2 in disk management. Should I change the "1" in the command to "2"?"

I think I fell into these same errors when I was studying for the 680, yeah the book has a lot of mistakes when it comes to the instructions for this. If I remember correctly I did change the 1 to a 2 and that fixed some of the errors, not sure about the "file in use" error though, that's kinda odd...

Onto the not enough disk space... How big is the VHD you created? I think the book calls for a 20 GB VHD drive if you went directly by the instructions and I think it's trying to have you mount the image into that VHD. If that's the case then you'll have to make the VHD bigger to accomidate for the 24 GB image.

Of course those are best guesses, I'm one of those guys that does best at troubleshooting something when I can clearly see the steps that have been taken to get to the errors in the first place.
