Windows 7 ISO Disc Image Utilities
http://code.kliu.org/misc/win7utils/

The Windows 7 ISO Image Edition Switcher is a set of small binary patches (and a tool to apply these patches) that will convert an official Windows 7 ISO disc image into an official Windows 7 ISO disc image of another edition. The resulting ISO images are bit-for-bit identical with those posted on MSDN or TechNet, and their SHA-1 hashes should match the official hashes posted by Microsoft.

The ei.cfg Removal Utility is a simple tool that will remove the ei.cfg from any Windows 7 ISO disc image, thereby converting the image into a "universal disc" that will prompt the user to select an edition during setup. This tool works by toggling the deletion bit in the UDF file table, eliminating the need for unpacking and rebuilding the ISO, which means that this is extremely fast (the process of patching the ISO to remove ei.cfg takes only a fraction of a second), and the process is easily reversible (running the utility on a disc image patched by this utility will restore the disc image to its original state).

Saludos Yoyo,

Te diré que yo no he probado esta utilidad, pero el concepto es que
tienes una ISO de Home Premiun en Windows 7 y deseas poder utilizarla
para instalar otras versiones, entonces modificas el archivo ei.cfg y
cuando corres la imagen entonces te pregunta que versión quieres
instalar.

En Windows XP tenias un CD de Home y no te servía para instalar
Professional, en Vista tienes todas las versiones en el DVD, en
Windows 7 es como XP, una imagen por versión.
