Hi Drew

Where have you been? This is exactly what I have been looking for!

Now, notice this gem on that site:

Create Windows 98/ME/NT/2K/XP/2003 all in one installation DVD
http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-create-multi-os-cd.htm 

Also, as VMware prefers FLP floppy images: Open / Edit / Extract floppy disk image file 

Support any floppy disk image file. (FLP, DSK, BFI, BWI and so on)

As for the ISO images, try this:

http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm 

Get the 106 version, behind the Windows 7 link (and one of the others I
think).  I can install that version on anything (just put it on a
netbook running XP pro the other day, and it runs fine in Windows 7 64
bit and Vista 32/64 bit).  In vista and 7, you'll be prompted about an
unsigned driver, but it works great.  You can add as many Virtual
CD/DVD-Roms as you want.  (one of my favorite games is FreeSpace, and
old 'space' game I got with my first PIII.  It needs the DVD to play, so
I usually have a drive specifically housing that iso image all the time
on my laptop.  Fun to play when I'm bored).  It runs in your system
tray, and is very user friendly.  It'll even make ISO images for you
(and other formats if you want).  I stick with ISO.  Did you know
another feature of Windows 7 is that it will natively burn an ISO image
to a blank CD/DVD with no other software?
