After a fresh installation of windows7,I notice that there are 2 VHD in my WindowsImageBackup,I believe one of them is from the 100MB system reserved.In this case how to go about it ? must i redo a fresh installation again? Secondly, I have a windows7 Home Premium installation disk,when I open up I did not see the ISO file,it shows many files and folders,can i just replace the install.wim from there and copy the whole thing to save ,then burn it to ISO ? Thank you.

Of the two VHD's the one you should convert to WIM using GimageX is the system image. It should be much bigger than 100MB system reserved. So just take the bigger one so you don't need to do a fresh installation.

If you have Windows 7 Home Premium disc, your backed up system should also be Windows 7 Home Premium. As you have a disc, you need to use programs like PowerISO or similar softwares to copy the disc file to ISO. Once you image it into ISO, you just need to go to Sources folder, and delete install.wim file and replace it in the same location with the same name "install.wim" that you created using GimageX
