mottoosmart Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I have Windows 7 along with several other applications in a folder (about 4 GBs)that I would like to put into a bootable DVD. Can someone please give me directions to create a bootable DVD that will automatically boot to the Windows 7 setup (or boot so that I can run Win 7 setup manually) ? Once Windows is installed, I can then access the DVD and install the other applications. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottoosmart Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Read the guides forum. LIGHTNING UK, thank you for your reply. I get stuck on #6 and #8: 6. "Point the 'Boot Image' to the 'etfsboot.com' file within the 'boot' folder in your source folder - i.e. "T:\VISTA_INSTALL\boot\etfsboot.com" I don't have this file. Also, I am trying to create a Windows 7 boot dvd, not Vista. Should I substitute the Windows 7 ISO disk image for etfsboot.com? 8. Assuming your source folder is in order (i.e. it contains a 'sources' folder with an 'install.wim' file in it) and depending on your current settings, the program will prompt to correct certain things so they match (as closely as possible) an official Microsoft disc/image. I don't believe I have the install.wim file either. I am trying to create a compilation of software on one DVD that boots to Windows 7 installation.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Then you probably have some messed up version. Sorry, I haven't seen and therefore cannot help with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottoosmart Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Then you probably have some messed up version. Sorry, I haven't seen and therefore cannot help with those. I was referencing the following guide: "How to create a Windows Vista / 7 installation disc using ImgBurn" Is there another guide I should follow?

mottoosmart Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 I wanted to report back as I figured out the problem: I thought imgburn was not working properly, or defective - instead, the user (me) was defective and not working properly. I was using a compressed version of windows 7 and therefore could not follow the guide instructions. The guide and imgburn work perfectly. In fact, the more I use imgburn the more I like it - it's an outstanding product. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
