I just got my windows 7 home premium (32 bit) last week. I want to burn it to DVD/CD. Has anyone done it correctly and turned out successful? Appreciate your help.
1.- COPY WINDOWS FILES TO A HARD DISK
Of course, you’ll need all the Windows 7 or Windows Vista files. For instance, I copied all of them within C:\Win7_7048_EN\x86fre
You could even add more custom files, like drivers or whatever..
2.- GENERATE THE ISO FILE
Open a command prompt console (with Administrator’s rights) and go where you have the AIK’s tools. Then type the following:
oscdimg -n -m -b”C:\Win7 7048 EN\DVD Bootable Tools\x86_Boot\etfsboot.com” C:\Win7_7048_EN\x86fre C:\Win7_7048_EN_ISO\Win7_7048_x86_EN.iso
You’ll get messages like the following:

100% complete
Final image file is 2825107456 bytes
Done.”
At this time you’ll have a new ISO file for Windows 7 or Vista!!.
If you want Windows x64, just use the other file types for x64, like:
oscdimg -n -m -b”C:\Win7 7048 EN\DVD Bootable Tools\x64_Boot\etfsboot.com” C:\Win7_7048_EN\x64fre C:\Win7_7048_EN_ISO\Win7_7048_x64_EN.iso
COMMAND’S MEANING:
-b points to the boot sector file location (etfsboot.com). This file will make the DVD bootable. Do not use a space between b and path!
Then, first path is the location of original Windows DVD files.
Second path points to the directory where the iso file will be created in.
-n makes it possible to use extended file names.
-m allows to create iso files, larger than CD format.
3.- BURN YOUR ISO FILE
Just burn your new ISO image onto a DVD media using any third party software, like NERO, ROXIO, ImageBurn, etc.
Got your Windows 7 Home Premium what? If it’s a DVD, just copy the disc. If it’s an ISO, it will burn directly in Windows 7 or use the likes of Nero or a free disc burner.
You will receive it as an ISO image I expect, so you need a program that burns images to CD.
