Post date: May 29, 2012 11:17:16 AM

A) Create the following Folder structure from the root of C:\ :

B) Extract the Base Images / DVDs as follows:

• Ultimate 64bit - to C:\Win7\64bit
• Ultimate 32bit - to C:\Win7\Allbit
• (Optional) Enterprise 64bit - to C:\Win7\E64
• (Optional) Enterprise 32bit - to C:\Win7\E86
• ImageX download extracted to C:\Win7\Imagex

C) Open a command prompt (Run as administrator if using Vista / Win 7) and copy and paste the in following one line at a time:

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim 4 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\64bit\Sources\install.wim 1 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 HOMEBASIC x64"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\64bit\Sources\install.wim 2 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM x64"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\64bit\Sources\install.wim 3 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL x64"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\64bit\Sources\install.wim 4 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\E86\Sources\install.wim 1 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 ENTERPRISE"

C:\Win7\ImageX\Imagex.exe /export C:\Win7\E64\Sources\install.wim 1 C:\Win7\Allbit\Sources\install.wim "Windows 7 ENTERPRISE x64"

Just leave out any the lines for any versions you don't want to include on your All In One DVD.

D) Open C:\Win7\Allbit\sources and delete the following files:

• ei.cfg
• install_Windows 7 STARTER.clg
• install_Windows 7 HOMEBASIC.clg
• install_Windows 7 HOMEPREMIUM.clg
• install_Windows 7 PROFESSIONAL.clg
• install_Windows 7 ULTIMATE.clg

E) If you used DVD media in step B), create an ISO image of Ultimate 32bit and save it to C:\Win7 folder. Call the ISO "Win 7 All-In-One.iso"

If you used an ISO image, then create another copy of Ultimate 32bit and save it to C:\Win7 folder. Call the ISO "Win 7 All-In-One.iso"

F) Open "Win 7 All-In-One.iso" created in E) above in MagicISO:

Delete all files and folders from the image:

Add all files and folders from the C:\Win7\Allbit folder:

Observant readers will also notice I've added a Versions.txt and a Comparison.jpg to my ISO image. These list the versions included in the image / DVD and detail the differences between versions respectively.

My complete DVD (including both Enterprise versions) weighed in at 3.9 GB. Not bad.

Test

Save ISO and test in VMware / Virtual PC etc. Burn using your favourite DVD burning program.
