Build a AIO Windows 7 bootable Flash Drive 
Print Preview
On TechNet and MSDN Windows 7 is listed in many Editions, downloading all these editions is a waste of time, bandwidth and hard drive space. For those that actually need these other editions you can download the ultimate editions in 32-bit and 64-bit and build an All In One.
Tools you will need:
1) ImageX tool Download: ImageX 32-bit ImageX 64-bit
2) Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Ultimate Editions
3) Ultra ISO
Download both the x86 and x64 versions of Windows 7, make sure the hash matches before you begin:
64-bit: 326327cc2ff9f05379f5058c41be6bc5e004baa7
32-bit: 5395dc4b38f7bdb1e005ff414deedfdb16dbf610
HashCheck: http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/
Create two folders “all” and “64”:
Open the ISO in UltraISO:
Extract the 32 bit version (x86) into the “all” folder.
Extract the 64-bit version (x64) into the “64” folder.
Extract either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of ImageX depending upon your current operating system. Then click the start menu and find the command prompt and right click and run as administrator.
Using the cd command change the directory to the one where you extracted the ImageX_x64 files.
Then run the following commands where D is the drive letter of where the “all” and “64” folders are located.
Imagex.exe /export D:\64\Sources\install.wim 1 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 HOMEBASIC x64″
Imagex.exe /export D:\64\Sources\install.wim 2 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM x64″
Imagex.exe /export D:\64\Sources\install.wim 3 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x64″
Imagex.exe /export D:\64\Sources\install.wim 4 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64″
The first one will take the longest, the rest will be quick after that.
If you can’t handle command line then GImageX can make it a snap: http://www.autoitscript.com/gimagex/
Click the export tab and the rest should be easy….be sure to fill in the Name field though. 
The folder “all” will now contain both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
Re-open the WIndows 7 32-bit ISO (x86) in Ultra ISO, delete all the files that are in it. Now go to the “all” folder and copy and paste the entire contents in. It should be 3726MB or 83% of 4.7GB. Notice the sources folder is 3,716,978KB.
In the sources folder you need to find and delete a file called ei.cfg, otherwise it won’t work at all.
In the sources folder you need to find and delete a file called ei.cfg, otherwise it won’t work at all.
In the sources folder you need to find and delete a file called ei.cfg, otherwise it won’t work at all.
If you want you can also edit a file called cversion.ini, change the number from 7233 to 7100 which adds the ability to upgrade the RC, this file is also located in the sources folder. You need to extract the file and change it in Notepad, save it and then add it back into UltraISO.
Now click File Save As and give it a good name like Windows.7.AIO
At this stage you could burn it to a DVD using UltraISO or write it to a Flash Drive.
For Flash Drive, click Bootable menu and then “write disk image”, make sure your flash drive is already plugged in and that it is empty or has no files that you need. Then click the “write” button.
Now you have a bootable flash drive with all version of Windows 7 on it.

The name in the list is in the “===” at the end of the command so you could name it anything you wanted.
To get Enterprise you need to download the enterprise ISO, extract it to a folder called “enterprise” and run the command:
Imagex.exe /info D:\enterprise\Sources\install.wim
It will give you the index number which will probably be “1″ then the command would be:
Imagex.exe /export D:\enterprise\Sources\install.wim 1 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 Enterprise DENZEL”
You will need to download the 32-bit and 64-bit enterprise versions.

1. First extract Ultimate x86 to a folder called “all” on the D drive.
2. Then extract Enterprise x86 to a folder called “enterprise86″ on the D drive.
Then the command will be:
Imagex.exe /export D:\enterprise86\Sources\install.wim 1 D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 Enterprise”
If your still confused you may want to use Gimagex instead of the command line.

Adding XP is possible but would make the above instructions more complicated. I think I will add a part 2 to this tutorial with Instructions for that in a day or two.

Sorry for the wait DENZEL.
After some thought I realized it would be rather complicated to add XP to the Seven install. They have very different setups and you would need a boot-able custom installer.
Someone may actually create a custom installer and put all the Windows version together and release it onto the web but it’s hard to verify that it wouldn’t come with a virus.

If HOMEBASIC is Image Number 1,
HOMEPREMIUM is Image Number 2,
PROFESSIONAL is Image Number 3 and
ULTIMATE is Image Number 4,
What would be the Image Number for STARTER?
I mean what should I type in the question mark (?) below:
Imagex.exe /export D:\64\Sources\install.wim ? D:\all\Sources\install.wim “Windows 7 STARTER x64″
Thanks…

Microsoft created the file so people wouldn’t install the wrong version. Without the file being present any version can be chosen at install.
The content of the ei.cfg file, inside the “sources” folder of the DVD looks like below:
[EditionID]
Ultimate
[Channel]
Retail
[VL]
0

I used your guide to build my own copy of Win 7 AIO. It has worked so far. Thank you very much.
However, are u sure there will be no mishaps with any of the installations, considering that a file was deleted and another was modified?
Thanks again

Those two files aren’t important to actually running Windows.
However upgrading directly from the RC to RTM may cause some problems and Microsoft prefers people do clean installs.
If your more advanced and want to throw caution to the wind then upgrading the RC is convenient for many of us.
If it fails you can always do the clean install.
