    its all about your hard drives, it takes 25min with i7 quad core 12Gb ram
    and raid0 with the kit on a seprate drive.

    It also depends on whether you are creating a single x86bit or x64bit dvd or an AIO x86-x64 bit dvd...You can also reduce the time taken by using the key.vbs script..But in that case you will be prompted for key while installing windows..Just hope these will help in reducing the time taken...Even then i would suggest integrating the keys as it is much cleaner method.

    sushil1576 which method is cleaner? To leave a procedure DISM to do, or to use the script key.vbs .... Personally, I do not key.vbs all scripts and is great, but it is true that more time is required.

    Yes Finally I have done it...I think the issue may have been 2 things...I was running the script on a windows 7 that was already running a loader...or I also noticed It was not creating the 100mb partition for some reason (during the install)....when I deleted the partition then it created the 100mb partition which is neede I guess for sysytem files.

    Thanks again to all you guys....last question why is there no starter editions....?

    Will there be updates so that this version will be available..?...For low powered netbooks etc

    Thanks.

    Integrating keys via DISM is the proper OEM method...Even though it takes longer but it is better according to me

    Nonosence/sushil1576,

    Any plan to include security patches integration to this kit?
    If not, any pointers on how to achieve this?
    Thanks!

    Shouldn't be to hard.

    $MNT = Mount Directory
    $PACKAGES = Folder with Updates

    Code:
    DISM.exe /image:$MNT /Add-Package /PackagePath:$PACKAGES
    Does this already do Driver Integration ?

    $DRIVERS = Folder full of Drivers

    Code:
    DISM.exe /Image:$MNT /Add-Driver /Driver:$DRIVERS /Recurse

    Glad that it finally worked for you...100mb system partition is not needed for the windows for working...It is only created when there are no partition available on the disk... Basic and Starter editions will be added when their respective OEM SLP keys will be available... :)

    link to iexplorer missing?

    First off all thank you for this wonderfull collection of scripts.

    I'v created my own preactivated iso, in another language than EN, did this by changing the iso name and the sha1 value in your batch files to the ones of my isos.

    I was able to create an aio preactivated iso, which installs and activates every one of my test pc's, only one thing, the link to iexplorer is missing from the taskbar and also in the start menu.

    I know thats easy to fix (making a link to it manually) but i wondered if anyone else had this problem to? I did 2 different compilations, a true aio x64 and x86, and an x86 version only, the missing iexplorer link appeared when I did a clean install with both isos.

    Any ideas?

    Hi guys,
    I have the 32 bit Win 7 ISO in the pre-activation directory and it is named 7600.16385.090713-1255_x86fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GRMCULFRER_EN_DVD.iso

    I then run Make_AIO_DVD.cmd It checks it and says ISO is OK but then says ISO not found and goes no further?

    Anyone else had this?

    Cheers,
    M

    Edit: Think I got it now.....I placed the 64 Bit ISO image in the directory as well and it seems to be working.......

    Use the "Make_x32_DVD.cmd"..."Make_AIO_DVD.cmd" is used only to make a combined x32bit and x64bit dvd...

    Hi Sushil....Ref the 100mb partition...

    I have installed quite a few times now ...(various driver problems) and have noticed if you don't let it create the 100mn partition, it all loads and works fine BUT the internet explorer icon is missing from the task bar and programs list.

    You can just make a shortcut...but it makes me wonder what else could be missing...?

    Now when it makes the 100mb partition ....all is perfect and the explorer icon is present....?

    Is this a windows feature...or has the pre-act script got something to do with it....?

    Hope this helps you other guys with ie missing.

    Cheers.

    unfortunately preactivated image seems to have a bug where after installation it would boot my PQSERVICE recovery partition by default and not windows 7. I tried it twice now, once from a full reinstall and second time just ran the script in already installed windows 7, both times the same result - after reboot it boots only service partition, I would need to use bootrec to recover it.
    My partition configuration was as follows : partition 1 - PQSERVICE, 2 - System Reserved 100mb, 3 - Windows 7
    Also it did not activate windows either.
