Solved Create Windows 7 AIO

[darkhorse]

Hi.

I want to make a dvd per the info here:

Create Windows 7 AIO (All In One) DVD or Merge all editions of Windows 7 in single DVD | Windows Valley

But I'm unsure about what I do about this:

I see only:

boot.wim
and
install.wim

How shall I understand the information ?

Have a look at the SF tutorial

Did you really waited for my query ?.

What a fast reply. Many thanks, I will look at the suggestion.

I agree, just follow the tutorial we have here. It couldn't be any easier. You don't even need the whole WAIK, just the imagex.exe file.

I have made several of these on DVDs & on 4gb, 8gb, & 16gb USB flash drives

Thanks to both of you

BTW.

How do I this?

6. After execution of above commands Win7_32's WIM file will be the universal WIM file that contains all version of Windows 7. You can export only desired versions into the image. For example you could make a Windows 7 DVD, which includes Windows 7 Ultimate x86 and x64 version only.

7. Now to make bootable DVD image...

I mean what exactly is to be done in 6 and 7 ?

Hi again.

What does this below mean?.

1:You can export only desired versions into the image

2:Now to make bootable DVD image.
How do I that ?

I think I'd probably back up and suggest following SIW2's steps...from the other thread you've been posting in. They are very simple, right to the point, and only take a few minutes to complete.

Use this link for the Microsoft tool that will take the .iso file and make it into a bootable Flash drive...if you go that route.

@Deaconfrost

Many thanks for yyour reply.

But how do I make ISO file from the folder containing the files ?

 

[DeaconFrost]

A program like UltraISO will allow you to do this. I guess I was making the assumption that those following the guide would have software like this, since most of us are dealing with the Windows 7 discs in the form of .isos already.

A trick many have used to end up with a bootable .iso file is to use UltraISO. Once you have your contents done following my link above, you then open one of the original, bootable .iso files. You delete the contents of the disc, and add in the new folder you created to the structure looks the same. It's very easy, as UltraISO resembles Windows Explorer. Then you save it as a file called Windows 7 Combined.iso or something like that.

You'll be left with a bootable disc image that has both platforms. The Microsoft tool I linked to will take that file and turn it into a bootable flash drive, as most of us do for quicker installs.

Many thanks again for your reply.

I will look for Ultraiso, and hope that an information on it's use can be found here in this forum.

Hello mate, have a look at this.

You don't really need a guide on UltraISO. The interface is very straightforward. The .iso files can be considered archives, similar to zip files. The program opens them when double clicked, and let's you extract, edit, or save the .iso. That's all you need to do.

I thank you much for those infos

If i dont need to download that app (almost 2 GB size), please explain what i have to do.

 

[DeaconFrost]

You just need that executable, which you can download from my first link in Post #9.
