32x to 64x Ultimate

I have the Ultimate x86 disk from the launch last fall. I also have Professional x64 Upgrade iso I downloaded via Digital River (MS student deal). Burned the iso and installed Pro x64. Now that I have a x64 OS (besides HP x64 on laptop) I decided to create a disk that would allow me to install Ultimate x64. I used the ei.cfg removal too and verified that ei.cfg was no longer on the disk I created using this link:
Windows 7 Universal Installation Disc - Create However, after burning the disk I looked and there was the file! So apparently for me the ei.cfg removal tool did not work. I think I should have saved the whole thing first?

Which free burner do folks recommend? I used ImgBurn. In another thread, it says Magic Burner had issues.

Thanks in advance!

I use ImgBurn or the built-in Win7 burner. You can manually extract the ei.cfg file from extracted files, then use ImgBurn to recompile the ISO from files and burn to DVD using ImgBurn.

Or simply run the ei.cfg removal tool again on the ISO, then browse into Sources folder using PowerISO or 7zip, etc., to see if it's gone before burning another DVD.

Until I installed a new DVD SATA drive a couple of days ago I didn't have much of a choice. I just retired my trusty Plextor IDE drive. Very quiet and reliable, just too slow. I will miss it.

So I goofed by not recompiling it first. I looked and it appeared completely gone but in fact it was still there by not saving it first.

Thanks for the link, but I have been using ImgBurn a long while. It may help others checking the thread though.
