Hi

I tried to to make Win7 Image (just like XP for the first time). Here is what i did:
01. Installed Win7 on E: drive via NT6.X fast installer (Primary Partition 3)
02. Installed FiraDisk, ImDisk, tweaks and so on
03. Shrinked windows to 2.8x GB (entire drive's used space)
04. Removed from registry: HKLM\System\MountedDevices\DosDevices\C: and E:
05. Rebooted to G4D\FiraDisk\XP RamImage
06. Made Image via MBRBatch of size 3.5GB (showed failed @ format stage and so on however 3.5GB image file showed up so mounted it via IMDisk)
07. Formatted the disk to NTFS from Windows drive context menu "Format", UnMounted.
08. Set Windows NT 6.x MBR from Bootice\Image tab\Process MBR button\
09. Set BOOTMGR PBR from Bootice\Image tab\Process PBR button\
10. Mounted and checked format (everything OK)
11. Copying Files to Image failed (permissions), tried to take make myself owner, took effective permission, assigned to child objects (again failed )

06. used IMG_XP_Create.exe, to create 3.5GB img (not sure if it has MBR or copy permissions as in process explorer is uses CMD /c xcopy)

title Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (RAM Image)

find --set-root --ignore-floppies /XPRAM_1.img

map --mem-min=4G

map --mem /XPRAM_1.img (hd0)

map --hook

root (hd0,0)

chainloader /bootmgr

Win7 somehow started but from partition and Found Ramdisk message appeared but DiskMGMT.MSC shows unknown virtual disk mounted Meaning what i'm trying to do didn't work

Found this guide but... is shows VHD (while I'm trying for IMG) http://www.boot-land...showtopic=10234

EDIT: I mounted Image, It has 2.17GB (obviously it didn't copy everything right)
