Create Windows 7 Universal DVD by Removing Versions
While installing Win XP, many people were bugged by different versions of installation disc. Having the 
license did not lessen the problems due to wrong disc. This issue was brought to the notice of Microsoft and was taken care of in Win Vista by providing a universal installation DVD ( separate for both 32 bit and 64 bit versions). You could easily select the version and key in the license key while installing.
But with Win7 Microsoft has reverted back to providing different versions. This would mean if you do not have the correct version of installation disc , then you cannot install Windows. But there is a means to achieve this ( i.e. installing the Windows inspite of above problem). THe procedure requires a modification, rather removal of ei.cfg file.
Microsoft resorts to cheap marketing tactics which in the eyes of some might amount to cheating practices. Actually in each Win7 installation disc all the versions are present including Home, Premium, Professional, Business, Ultimate. The ei.cfg tells the disc to install a certain version.
ei.cfg removal utility enables you to remove ei.cfg from the Windows 7 installation ISO. This utility removes ei.cfg file and repacks the ISO, thus creating a universal Windows 7 disc in the process. You may then burn this ISO on to DVD and start the installation , and you will be then asked to select the version of Windows. Select the correct version and enter the correct license to install the Windows.
