Saks Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 helpdesk98You will need ultra-iso or such similar utility (Power-iso) to re-compose the updated DVD. Here's what I did for testing & it worked:Install Ultra-iso (Obtain a paid full version from EZB Systems).Insert the win7 DVD in the drive and make an image on hard disk with UISO (Create CD\DVD image). The image thus captured will have the boot info embedded.Open the image in UISO (just double-click on the created image. Ensure your file-association is set correctly).On the left hand pane, click on the 'sources' folder. The contents of the folder will be listed in the right-hand pane.Now click on 'Actions' in the menu tab. Select 'Add Files' from the drop-down list.Browse to the custom made 'install.wim' that u have created. Select the file and answer 'yes' to over-write.Now save the file with 'save as' option.You have just crteated a bootable UDF file of Win7 OS. You can burn the image using nero's burn image option.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxXPsoft Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 you can add a data.wim look in waik.chmTo add applications, files, and other resources to Windows® during an installation, you must create a data image. By using the ImageX tool, you can create additional Windows image (.wim) files that contain only files and applications that you intend to copy to the Windows installation.
