Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 into a Installation DVD or ISO File

Brink,
I think I solved the problem.
Now the RT7Lite making ISO file except on the desktop. (I can handle with that )
I'm just changed the option called "re-build all images" to re-build this image only" at the "Log" menu appear after I push apply and everything works perfect, anyway I don't need any version except professional so it's ok for me.

Well, you are kinda limited by the hardware that you currently have though.

Thanks for your help Brink. It doesn't seem there is any other option so the other day I just bought a new Asus DVD-RW drive with SATA connector.

I was kind of looking at it the other way and still am though that I am limited by the software/media. I think it's ridiculous that the Asrock board doesn't have at least one ATA100/133 connector when it has even older connectors than that. Then putting that aside I think its bad that it then doesn't recognise a PCI card plugged in with DVD-RW drive connected to that. Then crossing out those two options I think its bad that Microsoft own tool doesn't work for making a USB boot drive from the Windows 7 installation DVD.

In the end there was no other option but to buy additional new hardware even though what I have already works and similar spec, the only difference being the connector which has made it effectively obsolete.

Cheers,

John

I just compiled & tested (on VMWare) an updated 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 ISO using a previously slipstreamed (with RTSe7en Lite) DVD, integrating 44 of the 46 post SP1 updates offered on my vanilla Win 7 Home Premium---all except the SURT (315mb d/l) & the October MSRT. 43 of the 44 updates installed on my test installation...all except this one:

An update that prevents a "0xC0000034" error message when you try to install Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is available
Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2533552)

Any tips on how to research why this update did not install, yet it was offered when I checked on my test install? How/where should I look in the RT 7 Lite logs, and what should I be specifically looking for, as I am completely unfamiliar with troubleshooting RT 7 Lite & am an average user.

Thanks, Joe. :)

Hello Joe,

I'm not sure why it didn't add the MSU file for that Windows Update unless a mistake may have been made. You might see if it will add it now.

Hello Shawn,

I think it may have failed because of either/both of these reasons, since I did not slipstream either the SURT or October MSRT:

An update that prevents a "0xC0000034" error message when you try to install Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is available
