A few batch files for creating Windows 7 setup images

With the recent leaks of Windows 7 there have been several builds which did not come on an ISO file, but have been leaked as a VHD file or an archive instead. I have created a few batch files which make it easy to convert a VHD image to an ISO file and to recreate authentic setup discs of Windows 7.

• WIM2VHD

  This batch file converts WIM files to VHD files; you can create VHD images identical to those which have been leaked by Wzor recently with that batch file.

• VHD2WIM

  This batch file does exactly the opposite as the first one. If you have a VHD image, it creates a WIM image for you, which you can put on an ISO file to install it.

• CREATEISO

  This batch file allows you to create an authentic ISO image, if you only have the setup files of a build (for example the 7022 and the 7048 leak).

• Disk2vhd

  by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell

  Disk2vhd is a utility that creates VHD (Virtual Hard Disk – Microsoft’s Virtual Machine disk format) versions of physical disks for use in Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines (VMs). The difference between Disk2vhd and other physical-to-virtual tools is that you can run Disk2vhd on a system that’s online. Disk2vhd uses Windows’ Volume Snapshot capability, introduced in Windows XP, to create consistent point-in-time snapshots of the volumes you want to include in a conversion. You can even have Disk2vhd create the VHDs on local volumes, even ones being converted (though performance is better when the VHD is on a disk different than ones being converted).
