No - you need to apply the image from dell install.wim .what if i can find a download for windows vista. Would loading that back on to the computer temporarily allow me to extract the factory.wim file?
That is why you need to make windows 7 boot media with gimagex in it. ( It does the same as imagex but is much easier to use )
An even easier way is to d/l the windows 7 iso - open the iso with a free version of an isohandling program - poweriso, for example- open system32 folder - click add files - browse to gimagex ( same bit version as the iso ), click Save as - and give the new iso a name.
http://www.poweriso.com/ just click the download button - that will get you the free (unregistered) version - which is all you need for this
Either burn your new iso to cd , or put it the contents on a bootable flash -boot it up - then fire up gimagex and apply the image from dell install.wim.
