Imaging Windows 8 with WIM larger than 4GB and UEFI boot?

Hi everyone,

I am doing a lot of imaging and UEFI has been nothing but a pain.  I ultimately have two issues but one is more pressing.

I need to know how to create a bootable, UEFI flash drive that can handle a WIM file larger than 4GB.  I have tried splitting it into SWM files and that didn't work. 

I know that the windows 8 factory comes with a 2.xGB file size but after applying updates and drivers ONLY it becomes 6GB!  I have combed the internet with no luck.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone can also throw in booting UEFI to an Imaging server, that would be outstanding but at this point, most of the machines I am dealing with don't have network cards so I need to do everything with flash drives.  Thanks in advance!

~Nick
