You will need to get the Home Basic 32-bit .ISO, and then extract the .ISO to a folder using 7-Zip. The steps are the first steps for the Repair Install tutorial.

Not yet. What is concerning me is this warning:

"You can only do a repair install with the same edition Windows 7 installation disc for the same edition of Windows 7 that you have installed."

So I downloaded the Home Premium ISO, and now I need to first get that to Home Basic SP1 using the eicfg tool. Or no?

Yes, the EICFG tool will open up the installer to Home Basic.

Yes, the problem is I don't seem to be seeing any Home Basic ISO downloads. They all seem to be Home Premium. If you know where Basic SP1 might be downloaded from, I can give that a shot for sure.

When you run the eifg removal utility against the w7 Ultimate iso you will have these options when you run the bootable installer. There are no iso downloads for Starter nor Home Basic. Don't go to the Stage Two of the tutorila.

Interesting what I've run into now.

So I did another ISO download, it completed, and the eicfg tool worked fine. Then I used 7-zip to extract the ISO to a USB.

Then something strange. I took a little break, came back, and the USB appeared to be completely dead!? Couldn't pull it up in Explorer, tried taking it out and reinserting it, tried it in another USB port, but nothing. A different USB drive came right up.

No idea what to make of it. Could it be the practically mythical "Ghost in the Machine?"

What do you mean by a different USB drive came up?

Have you tried rebooting?

A different thumb drive. I have like 4 of them. By "come up," I mean it shows up in Explorer right away.

Never had a thumb drive go dead on me before. Ever. Not quite sure what to make of it.

I could totally just extract to a different thumb drive. But I'm perplexed by the unusual event.

They do break eventually, I've personally never had one of my USB memory sticks (that's what we called them in the UK) break on me, but they are usually should be recognized by Windows Explorer still but show up as corrupted.
