    I'll be looking for that when seeing if you reopen RT7 Lite and then seeing the iso written to a flash drive I have ready for it.

    The size is noted when compared to the 3gb even seen for a previous iso with the .61gb difference. That suggests all went well.

    One other thing to mention here is a lag seen when first going to run the program a day ago and now when trying to reopen it again. I'll have to update this after a full restart. But the RT7 Lite is still a beta.

    Thanks for the welcome and the quick reply Brink :)

    I did what you said and checked at Step 7. Looks like it's fine. It's showing the SP1 and correct version number. I guess there's nothing to worry about.

    Thanks for the help. :) Very much appreciated.

    I made the edition selection and still checked off the intergrate SP box to move onto the next screen where the "skip" button was clicked on.The image here reveals how SP1 is now included in the iso itself.

    One thing to note about using the flash drive option is you need a good 4gb flash drive free of any files before selecting that option. The RT Seven Lite lacks the option to reformat flash drives.

    Update on that:

    Apparently it's not going to allow the new iso to be written with two errors seen. The first is any partition is seen as using up the entire drive space with the insufficient drive space message. Once cleaned with DiskPart and "raw" it won't see the flash drive present.

    The other options for selecting the iso itself were greyed suggesting the write to flash drive may have to be from the start.

    I created a new slipstreamed disk today and re installed and still have the backup files showing under disk cleanup.Anyone found out how to remove this yet or if its a bug with the RT7.

    p.s Cant manually find these files though

    Hello Danny,

    Sorry, but as far as I know the Windows SP1 backup files cannot be removed when installed using a slipstream Windows 7 SP1.
    Hi Shaun

    Thanks for that. Im still trying to get my head around it though.They show on my system as 920Mb, But a clean install with the slipstreamed disk is around the same size on the Hdd as a clean install without the Sp1,and definatelly not nearly a gig larger.
    Also where the hell are they.I cant find them anywhere.
    Also if the backup files are there why cant you uninstall sp1 after a slipstreamed install.
    Rant over lol !!!
    I remember doing this with vista and never having any backup files installed.Maybe its a glitch with the Beta Rt7 and maybe fixed in future releases as you would expect them to be removed before the ISO is created.

    Thanks though

    Hello Danny,

    I'm thinking that it may be a glitch as well. I had word that a newer version of RT Seven Lite will be released sometime before long, so we shall see then hopefully.

    The USB flash drive will need to have enough total space available (empty or full) for the image to be burned/extracted to it. RT Seven Lite will format (step 16E) the drive before doing so though.
    Apparently it's not going to allow the new iso to be written with two errors seen. The first is any partition is seen as using up the entire drive space with the insufficient drive space message. Once cleaned with DiskPart and "raw" it won't see the flash drive present.
    Yep, The USB drive cannot be RAW, or it will not be seen just like any HDD and Windows 7. If it's RAW you must format it first to create a partition/volume on it before it is recognized.
    The other options for selecting the iso itself were greyed suggesting the write to flash drive may have to be from the start.
    Yep, if you want to change a option like that, you will have to close and reopen RT Seven Lite to start over.
    Hope this helps,

    Has anyone used the WAIK to integrate SP1 into Windows 7 yet? I prefer that method, because there's no third party software involved/required. I could write up a tut if needed, Shawn?

    Hello David,

    If you would like to write up a nice detailed tutorial for it, then that would be fine if it's easy to follow for even a noobie. :)

    It's just that this 3rd party program makes it much easier to do this with many options that are also easier to do. That's all.
