Windows 7 Universal Installation Disc - Create

Hi Guys

I thought I would update my universal usb stick to a universal sp1 usb but cant seem to get it to work.Does the ei.cfg remover work ok on sp1 isos from technet as mine says it removed but when i run the usb only one version is available.

Thanks

Danny

Hello Danny.


You would be better off extracting the ISO and re-naming the ei.cfg file to ei.cfg.old and then re-creating the ISO, it's very easy, some have had issues with that tool.

One thing though to make it easier, don't extract the ISO to the desktop, use 7-Zip to create a file to do the extract to, you'll see the option when selecting where to extract to in 7-Zip.

Have a look at these tutorial linked below.

Thanks BFK will have a go at this tonight.

Ive got both the win7 HP and win7 HP sp1 Isos on the machine already and have been at this all day.Neither will now create a Universal usb or dvd using the ei.cfg removal tool but I did it before because I have a Universal dvd without Sp1, so not sure what the problem is with that tool.
Have to pop out on an errand so will have a bash when I get back and let you know how it goes

Thanks For Your Help

My pleasure Danny, be sure to keep me informed.

Hi BFK

Im struggling to create the iso using imgburn. Never used it before is there a Tut anywhere for creating the Iso rather than stright to a dvd as I want it on my usb eventually.

Thanks
