So if I just wanna make a disc with both versions of Windows Ultimate, I would only enter the export code for Ultimate x64, right?
Should the x86 iso be universal or only have Ultimate on it?
Ok, I was successful in created the "All version" 32/64 bit DVD. I thought I did good editing the bcd in order to give me the options to be able to use this one DVD/USB to do recoveries on both 32/64 bit. I know by default (with no editing bcd) you can only use that for 32 bit. Well, I followed a link at Adding additional boot options to your deployment USB key | Windows Certified - A place of IT News and a helpful windows community Forum. that walked me through the process. I created my ISO file and tested it inside of a Windows 7 machine by mounting and clicking setup. All of the versions were available to select from! The only bad thing was, when I tried to boot into a 32 bit version of Windows 7 (that was having problems starting up) it didn't even ask me to "pick a recovery" and went straight into "Loading Windows files" with the white bar, and then said "Sorry, you can only use this on a Windows 7 64 bit version" and something about getting the right disc.
I guess I did something wrong in my bcd . Please help if you can :).

Oh and the identifier {default}
description Windows Setup is the 32 bit one (boot.wim)
Crap, I just noticed that my boot64.wim has the same identifier as the boot.wim at the end of it. Doh. I think that's probably why. Crap. Funny how you can see things differently with a different background. Now I have to figure out how to edit that! :)
Edit: Nope, verified that it's supposed to be there. Now I am back to square one. Not sure why this "thinks" it's only a 64 bit recovery instead of 32 (like it would have if I didn't edit the bcd at all). Can anyone tell me what I missed please? Thanks in advance!
