anupverma20 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 I am going to use ImgBurn for the first time. I want to make a bootable Windows 7 DVD from a folder "Windows 7 HP" <where HP stands for Home Premium>. 1. Will DVD-Recordable suffice? After reading a number of guides, I think I need to put the folder "Windows 7 HP" in Drive C: (Local Drive). I have to insert the DVD into Drive (D:) Now in the ImgBurn, I understand all the settings except "Extract Boot Image". 2. I want to know what to do here. I suppose that in the Destination in the left, I have to select the Drive where I would insert the DVD (i.e., D: in my case). 3. Am I right? Please answer the three questions and the second one in some detail. Thank you.
ianymaty Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Pay attention to the guide. You don't need to extract boot image for Vista/7. 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"

So should I leave "Extract Boot Image" as it is?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Extract Boot Image is a function, not a setting. If you don't want to extract a boot image from anything (which you don't), you don't need to touch it.
anupverma20 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks @ianymaty and @LIGHTNING UK! I supoose answers to my questions 1. and 3. are YES. Edited June 4, 2012 by anupverma20
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 1. DVD-R? Yes, that'll be fine. 3. Yes, you configure the 'Destination' field so it points to your burner - which of course will need to have a blank disc in it.
