Finally got this to work, but it was indeed tricky.
USB-STICK PREPARATION
- Download Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Drive (SP74851).
- Let this Softpaq extract files to C:\SWSetup\SP74851, but cancel the installation process.
- The USB 3.0 drivers are in C:\SWSetup\SP74851\Drivers.
- Unpack the Windows boot iso image
- In the folder containing the extracted files, open sources\boot.wim with a file archiver which can read+write *.wim files (for example, 7-Zip, which can be used to edit the .wim-archive directly.) There are two subfolders (1 and 2) in boot.wim.
- Copy the folder C:\SWSetup\SP74851\Drivers into boot.wim\2.
The iso image is now ready to be transformed to a USB "boot disk", for example with ISO to USB. Use NTFS for the USB file system.
WINDOWS INSTALLATION ON 430 G3
- Boot from the USB stick
- When prompted for the driver, open the search dialog
- Navigate to and highlight X:\Drivers\Win7\x64 and click OK.
- Two USB 3.0 drivers should now appear in the listing. Highlight both entries and click on Next
The Windows installation can now continue!
