Windows 7 Universal Installation Disc - Create

Sakura33 said:

Hi All,

I'm new here and I discovered this tutorial from a Google search. I've been trying for the last couple of days to create a working AIO Universal Disc with both x86 and x64 versions. So far, I haven't had any luck though. I believe I'm following the procedure here precisely, but all 3 discs I've made only have a single installation available. And I've confirmed that ei.cfg does not exist in the folders of the extracted ISO images.

I'm attaching the the information I receive when using Imagex to check the info of the source.wim file. If anyone might have some tips about what I'm doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks so much.

Welcome to the forum,

Have a look at this post here,

creating a 2 OS thumb drive

That worked flawlessly for me.

Thanks for the reply and link to the other post. I just tried that one, followed each step to the letter, even going so far as to rename my folders to match those as provided in the posts. Deleted the ei.cfg file from the sources folder. Created a bootable iso using ImgBurn by following the instructions here: How to create a Windows Vista / 7 installation disc (bootable) using ImgBurn - ImgBurn Support Forum.

Still did not work. No list of the possible other versions to install. Just the typical install window for only 1 version.

Incredibly frustrating...

It is after that screen that you make your choice, just keep going, you can always exit out. Let us know how it goes.

I created a Windows 7 universal "USB", so i can install any version of Windows 7 with the proper legal key. My question is, can i use the USB thumb drive to install the OS in any laptop or desktop (with legal key)? i repair now and then some computer and really hate to use optical media.

Good news then!, thanks.

Hii, I am new here, I want to know two things
1.Can i combine two WINDOWS 7 SP1 32 BIT but different version on one dvd.
2. Can i use virtualbox but my pc doesn't support virtualization.

1. I know it's possible, but i don't know how unfortunatley.

2. Yes, you can use virtualbox, but without cpu support for virtualisation, i will be a bit sower.
