I was wondering is it posible to boot the Windows 7 Installation ISO whilst keeping all the files inside the ISO? (YUMI extracts the files)

Grab YUMI
Grab Ultimate boot CD – it like windows will use GRUB to boot
Grab FiraDisk – needed for windows
http://reboot.pro/in...?showtopic=8804
Install UBCD with YUMI onto USB (or SSD if your like me)
Once installed goto the multiboot folder on the YUMI USB
open syslinux.cfg
add this
label System Tools
menu label Windows Installation ISOs ->
MENU INDENT 1
kernel vesamenu.c32
APPEND /multiboot/menu/windows.cfg
save
now goto the menu folder and create a windows.cfg file
windows.cfg
add this

create windowsxpx86.lst -and an x64 if you want
add
default 0
timeout=0
title Windows XP x86 MAHER ISO with USB3
map --mem (md)0x800+4 (99)
map /multiboot/ISOs/WINXP.X86.MAHER.USB3.ISO (0xff)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
write (99) [FiraDisk]nStartOptions=cdrom,vmem=find:/multiboot/ISOs/WINXP.X86.MAHER.USB3.ISO;n0
chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR || chainloader (0xff)
save
create windows7.lst
default 0
timeout=0
title Windows 7 x86/x84 MAHER ISO with USB3
map --mem (md)0x800+4 (99)
map /multiboot/ISOs/WIN7.X86.X64.MAHER.USB3.ISO (0xff)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
write (99) [FiraDisk]nStartOptions=cdrom,vmem=find:/multiboot/ISOs/WIN7.X86.X64.MAHER.USB3.ISO;n0
chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR || chainloader (0xff)
save
Note: I added USB3 drivers myself for XP and 7
XP – used nlite
win7 – used rt7lite
next create windows8.x86.lst – and x64 if you want
add
default 0
timeout=0
title Windows 8 x86 ISO (USB3 included)
map --mem (md)0x800+4 (99)
map /multiboot/ISOs/win8.x64.915440.EI.ISO (0xff)
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
write (99) [FiraDisk]nStartOptions=cdrom,vmem=find:/multiboot/ISOs/win8.x64.915440.EI.ISO;n0
chainloader (0xff)/BOOTMGR || chainloader (0xff)
save
now goto the root of your YUMI USB (G: for me) and create a folder
Firadisk
extract the firadisk zip file into there
after that your done and you should have all your windows ISOs booting off the 1 USB

For USB Flash drive (removable drive) there is another way (does not required modified ISO) - see RMPrepUSB website - Tutorial #43
Yeah I used that site to help with this
but wouldn't I still need to modify the ISO if the Flash Drive was USB3? from what I understand there isn't native support for USB3 in XP/Vista/7 Installer (I think windows 8 has it though)

Presumably even for the win8 ISO you had to add Firadisk into the ISO?

The grub4dos statements will cause firadisk to load the ISO as a virtual CD, but when WinPE boots it has to load firadisk as a driver first. When firadisk loads it sees the memory command find:/multiboot/ISOs/win8.x64.915440.EI.I and so loads the ISO (searches all media until it finds it and then loads it as a virtual DVD).
So When each ISO boots, somehow you have to get it to run firadisk???
Did you test your method fully?

No, you don't need a to add a driver for a Flash Drive.but wouldn't I still need to modify the ISO if the Flash Drive was USB3?
E.g. a USB 3 Flash Driver at a USB2 controller.
Contrary you have to add drivers for a USB 3 controller, if you like to install from a USB 3 connector at certain hardware.

I'm using a USB3 device through a USB3 port, so I assumed it would need the drivers for it

Which hardware do you use?I'm using a USB3 device through a USB3 port

To boot from a USB 3 port, you don't need USB 3 drivers as the BIOS will map the USB 3 drive to Int 13h BIOS calls - but as soon as you boot to an OS, then the OS will need USB 3 drivers. Win 8 already has them, Win 7 and below don't. Same for linux, most (??) linux builds don't have USB 3 drivers during the initial boot loader (initrd) stage and so will fail if you try to boot linux from a USB 3 port.

Which hardware do you use?
Crucial m4 128gb SSD in a USB 3 enclosure which is a
Vantec NST-200S3-BK NexStar CX HDD Enclosure
Try your USB drive again and get to the bit where it asks what version to use. My guess is that it will not find the 'DVD' and ask you to install a driver so it can access the DVD drive that it is looking for.
OK I will try that.

I tried out ububtu 12.04 64-bit (is this the latest?) and that seemed to boot fine

So do I just inject firadisk into the ISO? or is there more to do?

Yes, that's a nice USB StickCrucial m4 128gb SSD in a USB 3 enclosure which is a

Which USB 3 controller do you use?
Which motherboard do you use?
How do you integrate USB 3 drivers?

ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
I used nlite for XP and RT7lite for win7

however when it reaches the REPAIR WINDOWS? question, I press N and enter, and then it loops and asks the question again

Did you use the mysetup.cmd file from the download or the mysetup.cmd listing in the Tutorial?
I have changed the download now so that it does not test for USBDRIVE - can you try it again?

Posted 03 September 2012 - 08:43 AM
then I'll attempt the XP tutorial
also is there a tutorial for windows 8 yet?
