    Installing versions of Win 7 from USB


    I did an iso from my windows 7 dvd and used the Windows7-USB-DVD tool to install it in a usb flash drive. I removed the eicfg so i can choose any version (Ultimate, Home Premium..etc) and then created the usb version. The problem is that when i boot from the usb to install windows 7 it automatically shows Home Premium, no other so i can't pick the one i want. If i boot from the dvd (i created a dvd copy with the file removed too) it presents all versions.

    Write the DVD as it exists to stick using Ultra ISO. On File tab open DVD, on Bootable tab Write Disk Image, Format, Write.

    Follow the steps in the Perfect Install tutorial below.

    How do you plan to activate>?

    Use this tutorial instead doing the manual method to create a W7 USB install drive.

    Do not use the installation tool from MSFT when you have used the eicfg removal utility to remove the eicfg file. It's ok to use something like ImgBurn to write a univeral Windows 7 DVD, but MSFT's tool does not respect the eicfg removal utility. Do it manually or use something like UltraISO.

I'd like to install both 32bit and 64bit versions of Win7. 64bits version will be used with specific calculation-heavy programs (eg MATLAB) The 32bit version is intended for more casual use. Note that 2 hard drives are available. Any guidelines will be appreciated. Thank you all
