    Default Win 7 making multi version DVD ?

    Hi,
    I read somewhere that there is a way to make Win 7 DVD to give you the choice of which version you want to install. That was by creating the DVD image, removing some files from it and there you go. I can't find this post anymore (was it here?) so if anyone has any link in the subject please post it.
    Thanks

    OK, not the same but even easier:


    Cheers

    EDIT: and manually:

    All you have to do is unpack the iso, delete the ei.cfg file in the sources folder and then remake the iso and you will have a menu to install any version of Win7. The same bit though, 32 or 64bit, in the iso. You would need a 32 and 64 bit iso to have them all.

    I assume you make an ISO from your DVD and then follow the steps in the other thread where they mention about unpacking it, locating and removing ei.cfg.

    The same as a cd. Most disc writing software can do it eg ImgBurn (free & very good), alcohol120%, nero etc .

    And this filled in a few more blank bits.



    Note: Windows 'pulled' their free DVD/USB Download tool on the 10/11 due to claims of their use of Open Source code.
