| 1287752 | 2012-07-11 01:28:00 | I've got an original HP Win7 Prof install DVD and have saved an iso (using ISO recorder) copy to my HDD. Tried to remove the ei.cfg file so that I could use it for all versions of Win7 installation; but when executing the 'ei.cfg remover utility', error message pops up : "ei.cfg not found. Make sure that the disc image is uncorrupted and that the file system is UDF, not Joliet" I'm pretty sure that the iso image is not corrupted as I've burnt a DVD from it and tested to install on a machine. Also, have checked the install DVD that the file ei.cfg is there. When running the ISO recorder, there isn't any option to choose the file system format. Any idea what have I done wrong? |

| 1287754 | 2012-07-11 01:55:00 | I created the ISO from the original DVD, can't delete it from the DVD! | bk T (215) | ||
| 1287755 | 2012-07-11 02:00:00 | Thats why I said before you create the ISO | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1287757 | 2012-07-11 03:05:00 | How do I remove it from the DVD? I don't think you can, I think you'll need to create another ISO |

| 1287758 | 2012-07-11 03:06:00 | You cant since its read only. You'll have to copy the dvd to the hdd then delete that file. Then make the ISO again | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1287759 | 2012-07-11 03:48:00 | Why bother with an ISO and DVD? If you've got a spare 4GB USB pen drive get the Microsoft USB creater to make the USB into a bootable Win7 installer then delete the ei-cfg file yourself from the USB stick. Boot from the USB stick to install Win7, much faster than from a DVD. emea.microsoftstore.com |

Boot from the USB stick to install Win7, much faster than from a DVD. emea.microsoftstore.com Why bother with an ISO on a DVD? Well, pretty much anything will boot from a dvd. Such as, the LAN I was at, someone wanted me to install win8 to dual boot with...vista..... This was at 4am, so I was pretty shattered, but I still tried; I didn't have a dvd with me, only flash sticks. I went into his bios, and set to boot from...wait, the option wasn't there. So I plug it in regardless, and start up, having prepared a 60gb partition for win8 to go onto. it gave me an option to boot from usb, and I though that vista was actually being helpful. But, no, it wouldn't do it. A dvd would have worked. |
