    On the Win XP era I have used nLite and it was very good.
    Now there is a nLite version for win7-10. Have never used, so can't say if it's good.
    nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation

    I have those tools and it helped. I don't want anyone to think I am leaving them hanging. I am still working with this. I tried to copy a dvd of XP sp2 Pro to an iso and it worked. but I can't seem to get it bootable. The DVD is, but I can't get a bootable USB. Is it not an option?

    [1] How did you create the XP SP2 Pro ISO from the DVD?
    [2] The DVD will of course be bootable because it is a genuine bootable ISO image.
    [3] You can't just copy & paste the ISO to a USB because it will not work!
    [4] You need to burn it to a USB.
    [5] To burn the ISO to a USB, you can either use: Rufus 3.3 or Rufus 3.3 Portable.

    I hope this helps!

    OK I copied the ISO I made off the DVD through rufus onto the USB. Rufus reported if was creating a MBR. It has an option for MBR or UEFI too. It booted. But when I went to the USB and simply clicked on setup while being on my 7 ultimate that didn't work. Power ISO wouldn't copy the ISO onto a USB as bootable. But that option did exist for DVDs. Perhaps it's because I have the trial version. OK I am going to go a head and mark this solved. I appreciate all the help. And if anyone wants to continue to post to this thread by all means go right a head. It's not "closed" :)

    No I will get the systeminfo utility and give it a try and keep doing it. If I don't figure it out no big deal. I'll try again later.

    To open and extract any compressed file like zip, rar and iso, I recommend 7 zip. Fast, small and free
