Step by Step guide:
1) Download the Windows 7 Ultimate 32 or 64Bit .ISO file.
Note: The default download location to your computer is: C:UsersUser account nameDownloads
a) If you want to create a 32Bit universal installation DVD download this file:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-59463.iso
SHA1 Hash value: 65fce0f445d9bf7e78e43f17e441e08c63722657
b) If you want to create a 64Bit universal installation DVD download this file:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit: http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-59465.iso
SHA1 Hash value: 36ae90defbad9d9539e649b193ae573b77a71c83
2) Verify the .ISO file downloaded is not corrupt by validating the SHA1 hash value is correct.
A utility named ‘HashCalc’ which checks the file and returns a SHA1 value that should match the value listed in step 1a or 1b if the download is not corrupt.
a) Download and install HashCalc: http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/index.htm
b) Launch HashCalc and navigate to the location of the .iso file you downloaded.
c) Remove all check marks from the list of HashCalc options except for SHA1.
d) Click the ‘Calculate’ button and wait for the SHA1 string of numbers and letters to be displayed.
e) Compare the string of numbers and letters displayed in HashCalc with the SHA1 value listed in step #1 above. The entire string must match from beginning to end, if it does not match then the .ISO file you downloaded is corrupt and you must try the download link again.
3) Download, install and run the ‘ei.cfg’ utility.
I choose the default location for the download.
a) Extract the contents of the eicfg_removal_utility.zip file to a destination of your choice.
Start by double clicking on the .zip file and then double click on the eicfg_remover.exe file.
Click the ‘Extract all’ button and browse to a location where you want the zip file extracted to. Then click on the ‘Extract’ button.
A standard folder with the name: eicfg_removal_utility will be created.
b) Open the ‘eicfg_removal_utility’ folder and click on the ‘eicfg_remover.exe’ file and click the ‘Run’ button.
c) Navigate to the folder where the Windows 7 .ISO file is located and click on the .iso file to select it.
d) Click the ‘Open’ button to disable ei.cfg located inside the .iso file. Finally click the ‘OK’ button to exit the eicfg utility.
What does eicfg do:
From the eicfg ‘Readme.txt’ file:
“This works by toggling the deletion bit in the UDF file table, which instructs the operating system to ignore the file and to treat it as if it does not exist. By not physically removing the file, this eliminates the need to rebuild the ISO, and makes this sort of fast, un-intrusive patching possible.This also makes it possible to reverse the patch and to restore the image to its original state, if so desired.”
In short you do not need to manually edit the contents of the Windows 7 .ISO file you downloaded.
Now that you have modified the .ISO file using the eicfg utility, the next step is to use the modified .ISO to create a universal Windows 7 installation DVD.
4) Create the universal Windows 7 installation DVD or USB Flash drive:
