You will need to get the Home Basic 32-bit .ISO, and then extract the .ISO to a folder using 7-Zip. The steps are the first steps for the Repair Install tutorial.

Yes, the problem is I don't seem to be seeing any Home Basic ISO downloads. They all seem to be Home Premium. If you know where Basic SP1 might be downloaded from, I can give that a shot for sure.

Interesting what I've run into now.

So I did another ISO download, it completed, and the eicfg tool worked fine. Then I used 7-zip to extract the ISO to a USB.

Then something strange. I took a little break, came back, and the USB appeared to be completely dead!? Couldn't pull it up in Explorer, tried taking it out and reinserting it, tried it in another USB port, but nothing. A different USB drive came right up.

No idea what to make of it. Could it be the practically mythical "Ghost in the Machine?"

What do you mean by a different USB drive came up?

Have you tried rebooting?

A different thumb drive. I have like 4 of them. By "come up," I mean it shows up in Explorer right away.

Never had a thumb drive go dead on me before. Ever. Not quite sure what to make of it.

I could totally just extract to a different thumb drive. But I'm perplexed by the unusual event.

They do break eventually, I've personally never had one of my USB memory sticks (that's what we called them in the UK) break on me, but they are usually should be recognized by Windows Explorer still but show up as corrupted.
