Hi,
I am facing problems while trying to make a Windows 7 bootable usb disk from within windows xp. I have uploaded the log and backup files to the file host you had recommended. I will be grateful if you could provide some help in solving the issue.
A very pleasant day to you
Sorry forgot to post the link to uploaded log file. Here is it

Thanks once more
Why using 1.0 beta7?
Get the latest 1.4, select auto-format option when using it for a first time and go ahead.
please help. I don’t have a degree in engineering for your website and pressing download links leads to a labyrinth of other pages.
I am sure you can do it without the need of any degrees, may the force be with you : )
Help. Won’t boot properly on UEFI system. Have to go into BIOS and change boot to BIOS (CMS). Boot the USB disk and then later change back to UEFI so system’s hard disk will boot. I recall that I needed to use FAT32 for the format so it could boot BIOS or UEFI, but did I miss something in the build? If so can I correct it now without have to rebuild the USB disk? (have windows 7 x86, 7 x64, 8.1 x86, 8.1 x64 and a password reset ISO plus LOTS of software on a 64GB USB disk. Would REALLY like not having to completely rebuild it. Thanks for any guidance you may be able to offer.
So is it FAT32 or NTFS? If the latter, try the EFI NTFS drives, details in FAQ #9
It’s FAT32. When I set BIOS to boot as BIOS, the USB drive boots properly and show the original NT6 menu, from which I select installing Windows or my Password reset. If BIOS is set for UEFI, then when it boots it only shows to install Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64 on the menu. (as if it boots to a menu a couple of menus down the chain).
What exactly are the missing sources? Only Windows versions and utilities, including WinPE based ones, supporting EFI are added to the EFI boot menu. Do not expect to find there XP or DOS based ones for example, they won’t work under EFI anyway.
Alan, please. There is a FAQ, please read it. There is an answer, please read it carefully.
Again, only Windows versions, which support (64 bit, as nearly all consumer hardware except some tablets have 64 bit EFI) EFI are added to the EFI boot menu.
In short- Windows 7 32 bit for example do not support EFI boot, hence it’s not added. Windows 8 32 bit runs in very limited number of hardware, hence is not added.
Please read the FAQ for details.

It’s FAT32.
Then it should boot in UEFI mode, you might need to play a bit with BIOS/EFI settings.
The USB drive was built with Windows 7 x86, Windows 7 x64, Windows 8.1 x86, Windows 8.1 x64 and Windows Password Reset. All are Windows 7/8.1 ISOs. It was Formatted with FAT32 and each ISO is under 4GB. When it boots “normally” I get the 0, 1, and 2 menus (1 is the NT6 stuff). You select 1 and then you get the install menu for the 4 Windows installs and the Password Reset, total of 5 items. If BIOS is set for UEFI, the first menu you see on a boot is only for the Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64 installs.
itaushanov, I had read the FAQ you referenced. It took a couple of times for it to sink in, but I now understand. Only the 64 bit installs show up when booted under UEFI, they all show up when booting under BIOS. Thank you very much for your help.
Went through the FAQs. Is there a way to remove something from the USB disk without rebuilding it? As example I have Widows 8.1 x86 & x64, how would I remove the x86? Thanks.
Figured it out. Just remove the folder, then use VisualBCD to edit the boot\bcd file.
That’s correct. If it’s added to the EFI boot menu, you’d need to edit \efi\microsoft\boot\bcd as well. The included BootIce also has BCD editor.
hi
and if i want to replace a windows 7 or 8 iso, i can edit the bcd file but how about the path to the iso where is that stored?
because my iso’s have a build date in the name and also the one on USB stick
also if i compare the boot wim file on iso and the one that is extracted they are not the same
i did think if i extract it my self from iso and replace it on USB stick this will work (did not try this yet just an observation)
Path to the ISO file is stored in ….\system32\WinPEShl.ini in boot.wim, which has other modifications as well, so you can’t simply replace it with another, unmodified one.
I doubt you’d be saving any time by doing these manual edits. Given a USB stick with decent write speed (>20MB/s), adding a new 3-4GB source, deleting or not the previous one, takes just a few minutes…
If you are refreshing only install.wim in your source, you could simply replace just the ISO file with the new one, preserving the file name and keeping the initial modified boot.wim.
I’ve not been able to find where I could edit he name of the .ISO. I realize your .ISOs have the build date in the name, but if you replace the .ISO with another with the same name it works fine.
Hi
thanks for the answer
and the WIM file can i extract it my self from iso and replace it with the one USB stick
