I am trying to install Windows 8 on virtual box using a bootable WinPE DVD. The image file (.wim) is on the USB stick. But when I boot from DVD, I cannot find the USB drive. I need to execute the command

d:\imagex.exe /apply e:\imageC_20150528.wim 1 c:\

where D - dvd drive and say E - usb drive But I cannot locate the USB drive from the command prompt.

When I use winPE I use DiskPart to determine the drive letter of the USB drive. 

-Diskpart
-list volume

This should display all available drives
