Use of Image-X tool for installation of XP & win7



First of all create a bootable pen and create installation of win 7 or Windows PE disk/pendrive.
Now create a windows xp and windows 7 Image files.(guide)
Don’t forget to copy driver files in the associate folders before creating the image.
Name the image files as winxp.wim and win7.wim.
Or you can create your own using ImageX tool.
Here below is the video



We  now require to deploy the images into other systems.
Now use of image-x command line (microsoft description) is given as here.
You can download ImageX tool from here.
Now create a folder name Images in your pen drive and paste all the contents here.
Also paste the winxp.wim  &  win7.wim in this folder.
Now Start your system with win 7 / win PE disk / pendrive
run the setup of win 7 bootable from pen drive and at the installation screen press shift+ f10.
Here you will get a command prompt.
Now say for example your pen drive letter is J and OS drive is C. (note you can see drive letters by typing diskpart then press enter and then type list volume)
So now type J:
Then type cd images
Now to install XP type imagex /apply winxp.wim 1 C:
Same as to install win7 type imagex /apply win7.wim 1 C:
Now if installing XP you will need to make it your master boot record ntldr bootable so after deploying the image type bootsect.exe /nt52 C: and for win7 bootsect.exe /nt60 C:
Exit from this menu and restart the system. That’s all
