Hi,

I'm trying to install windows 7 from an ISO via USB. I have got the ei.cfg program to remove the version lock but when I boot up the USB the installation options are not there and the disc installs as if it was the original version the ISO was made from. This has happened twice now and is a real pain, does anybody know what is causing the problem?

Yeah that's what I've done, its just a pain because I have multiple machines so a single universal USB installer makes life easier. I've put home on a pro machine (easy to fix) and now accidentally put 32bit on a 64bit machine (not easy to fix). I've noe downloaded and installed the 64bit only to find it didn't have sp1 slipstreamed

As for you pay for the code not the disc, I think it depends which version you buy, the retail edition is surely more expensive because of the discs? I have one retail copy but can't use it because I have no disc drive atm
