In post nr; 8 you have a link to instructions – including link to download of needed grub-files and the tool ”grubinst_gui.exe”.
Its in this tool (when you have started tool) you are able to use “Option” to save MBR from any of you harddisks or any floppy unit as well.

Again read post nr; 8 and use link in post.
You need to inject Grub-mbr to your USB harddisk to be able to launch EasyBoot-ISO-file.
At present time you have a NT6-mbr injected to USB harddisk.
The point is to first save (using “Option”) your present mbr in USB harddisk (save it some where in some temp-folder or whatever – it is a very small file - size 8kb large or something).

Why this manoeuvre you may ask? Well to avoid the need to format you USB harddisk you have to do it manually.
Note: all this tricky things are automatically performed when using my script “easyboot-usb.script” or “easyboot-grub-iso.script” :;):  
But you must do it manually as I guess you are NOT interested to format your USB harddisk  

And now I’m going to watch some television :D  (the classic: back to the future-III)

hello balder,

Thanks for your instruction again. Same as before I need quite plenty of time to digest it and may be fail. As I'm quite foolish in this aspect. Anyway I'll try it as I really want it to be successful. It's useful to me.

Because I don't want to make one more primary partition for this win7usb.

I think you can download this 7usb and try it yourself. As this is a real win7 windows (not win7pe). You can install software in it. Besides it is universal bootable in any computer. It means you can carry your portable win7 to run in any other computer.

Yes that’s exactly what my intentions are in this case.
Note: you can also use Ghost and create an image of your harddisk (in case “things go wrong”).

Big hug :;):  for the download link @allgames71
Though it takes more than 10 ours to download :O
However, he, he you always have patience when you wait for goodies :laugh:  

Tomorrow afternoon - or evening - I will report my results (hopefully we can use Easyboot menu and that special kicker-image to launch file bootmgr on USB that then launch Win-7 VHD-file)
I’ll be in touch :cool:

Regards balder

HEUREKA – it works :p

I did following:

1. Run ” installer.bat” in ” 7 Ultimate USB Edition x86 v2.0 by iMortaluz”
2. And got ERROR during boot :(
3. Run recommended “Windows 7 USB Drive Edition v2.9 x86 UPDATE.exe”
4. And that update fixed my problems :D

However we are interested to use the Easyboot menu
I solved it this way:
• I created a special “grub-kicker-image” that are able to launch bootmgr on USB. Download file HERE then copy file as it is to folder ezboot and use menu command:  memdisk win7usb.zip
• Create ISO in EasyBoot with your new menu that now are able to launch bootmgr on USB device
• Download my latest updated script collection (you have it as usual below)
• Use “easyboot-usb.script” and in script check "DO NOT format USB device!". When this new checkbox is checked your USB device is NOT formatted, but grub MBR-code are injected to USB and grub-files are also implemented to USB. Script then asks for file to put on USB device. You of course chose ISO-file and point to created EasyBoot-ISO-file. Script now creates a menu including option to launch Easyboot and there you are.
• The point is that script “easyboot-usb” now is able to – when needed - ONLY update EasyBoot-file and grub-files (no format is done if checking: "DO NOT format USB device!"). If you later change things in your Easyboot menu you still can inject this modified EasyBoot-ISO-file to your USB device WITHOUT any format is done to USB device. This also means that you “manually” can copy Win-7_VHD-file including the right “bootmgr”-file and folders "BOOT" and iMortaluz to any USB device and use Easyboot menu to launch Win-7USB.VHD-file.

Regards balder :;):

hello balder,

It works, you are really GOD. Nothing is impossible for you. It's easily and works perfectly. Now I'm going to  combine this to my existing easyboot usb harddisk.

Thanks again for your instruction. Thanks.

@allgames71

Thanks for nice feedback :;):

I have found out that if you are using EasyBoot menu from some odd laptop-computers (e-machine or similar) I wasn’t able to boot the Win-7USB correctly if using ”memdisk win7usb.zip” as command in Easyboot menu :O  

It looks to have something to do when “memdisk” is used in this laptop-computer ???

If you have problem with this then modify EasyBoot menu to:

1. Extract win7usb.img from win7usb.zip to folder ezboot
2. Change menu command in EasyBoot to:  run win7usb.img

Regards balder

Thanks for your advice and I understand what to do with it. Thanks.

But for me, I may not use it for odd computers as it is Win7 which should not be suitable for these computers.

As it describe in Win7usb offical site, better use Win7usb x64 as it can use more ram to run faster. So now I'm using it.

One more thing, balder, I don't know whether you would answer me here or not, as this is not an Easyboot problem. As you know I'm a Chinese not using English but Cht. Although I can use this Win7usb which is Eng Win7 and update with Cht Language Pack. But it's not completely compatible with my Cht Language. Once before I made my own Cht Win7 vhd file and replace it with the one in win7usb-harddisk. But it boot with a bluescreen in a same computer. In the win7usb offical site, it claim "do not do windows updates, or that may spoil the windows" something like that. So I'm wondering whether the authur has done something modify of add in it's win7usb. I really don't know how and what, maybe balder you know. As I really want to have a win7usb with my own language ( I think the other members in this forum would also like to know). If possible inform me if you can. I know it is not an easyboot problem, but I think it's also a good discussion.

Thanks in advance.

I agree :cool:

I tested integrating my own language pack (Swedish) to VHD-file.
It works excellent I can now alter between English and Swedish as I please :laugh:
But eeeeh your English is as close to perfect as it can be – which mine is not (my son continuously complaining on my English) – especially to my “bad verbs” as he says.
But, he, he, I use my age as defence :D

However, did you uncheck everything in “important updates are avaible” (I had 59 important updates to uncheck here) followed by only check for my native language (Swedish) in “optional updates are avaible”
You didn’t by any chance forgot to uncheck one, or several, updates that was avaible in “important updates are avaible”

Part from above, I can hardly figure out any more advices (I’m not that skilled in computer software – but better skilled in the hardware world).

Funny part is that the word “avaible” used in Windows-7 should be more like this “available” (at least my spelling edition continue complaining on “avaible” and want to change it to “available”) – he, he nobody is perfect :laugh:

And again I thank you for pointing me to this USB-Win7-edition :;):  – many thanks @allgames71

Regards balder

hello balder,

You don't have to thank you to me , as you are my teacher. "pointing you to this USB-Win7-edition" is mainly because I want to know how to embed this win7usb to Easyboot without adding additional primary partition for it. Although this is not a software sharing forum. But for this extreme good software , sharing to others member in this forum is considerable.

Anyway as I said above. Can you try to create a vhd file in Win7 with your Swedish Language (instead of Eng) , then replace it with the one in your win7usb-harddisk. So the win7usb will become win7usb Swedish.

I've tried using my language Cht, but fail to boot with a blue screen after replace this Cht vhd file to the one in the win7usb-harddisk.

I know it's not a easyboot problem , but I hope you can try and help.

Thanks
