Extract the contents of a .msi executable setup file
Setup executable files are of many types among which there are two famous types, .msi and .exe files. Both the setup files are self extracting files which installs themselves when double clicked, thus it is bit difficult to see the contents of the setup files before installation.


Every once in a while I need to extract the content of a .msi file in order to customize a deployment for a particular network environment. Sometimes initializing the .msi installer will temporarily extract the files into C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp, but those files are removed once the installer exits.
To extract files from a .msi follow my instructions: 
Step 1: Open run and type cmd..


Step 2: Type msiexec /a C:\yourfile.msi /qb TARGETDIR=G:\msi_test




Note: C:\yourfile.msi is the file which will be extracted. G:\msi_test is the folder location where the extracted files will be located. The destination directory does not need to exist prior to running this command.


Step 3: Now wait for a few seconds.. Then u will see a popup extracting files.


Step 4: It's done. Now open the target directory and check out extracted files and folders.
Restore Multiboot Options In Windows 7
Repair the MBR to restore Windows 7 to your Multiboot Options

Each time you install a version of Windows, it rewrites the MBR to call its own boot loader. If you install Windows 7 (or Windows Vista) as a second operating system on a PC where Windows XP is already installed, the Windows boot menu incorporates the options from the older boot menu. But if you install a fresh copy of Windows XP (or Windows Server 2003) on a system that is already running Windows 7, you’ll overwrite the MBR with one that doesn’t recognize the Windows 7 boot loader. To repair the damage, open a Command Prompt window in the older operating system and run the following command from the Windows 7 DVD, substituting the letter of your DVD drive for X here:

    X:\boot\ bootsect.exe /nt60 all

Now Restart your PC. It will boot to Windows 7. Now  open your CMD and type these commands.

    C:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /create {ntldr} /d "Earlier Versions of Windows OS"
                     Note: In this command, Earlier Versions of Windows OS can be any text that you want. It's a Description of the OS.

    C:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /set {ntldr} device partition=D:
                     Note:  In this command, D: is the drive letter for the active partition.

    C:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /set {ntldr} path \ntldr

    C:\Windows\system32\Bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

Now you can find your older versions of Windows.

Uninstall and Remove Windows 7 or Vista on Dual Boot with Windows XP


Windows operating system supports dual-booting a PC, where users can install multiple OSes and select which system to boot up to on machine startup. If you have installed Windows 7 or Windows Vista on top of current existing Windows XP to make the PC a dual boot system, but now decided to ditch or dump the Windows 7 or Windows Vista partition to revert to the old good classic Windows XP follow the guide below to uninstall and remove Windows 7 or Windows Vista to leave only Windows XP without having to reinstall the OS, and without affecting saved files and data.

Important: Do not use this tutorial if your dualboot system is Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

   1. Boot up and log on to Windows XP desktop.
   2. Insert the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD installation disc into CD-ROM or DVD-ROM optical drive.

      Alternatively, mount the Windows 7 or Windows Vista DVD ISO image on any virtual drive.
   3. Run Command Prompt, or click directly to Start menu -> Run command.
   4. In the command prompt or the Run text box, issue the following command and hit Enter:

      [DVD Drive Letter]:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

      For example,

      If the DVD drive path is D:, then enter the following:

      D:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

      The step will remove the boot menu to select operating system to start.
   5. Remove the DVD disc and restart the computer.
   6. The computer will boot up with Windows XP installation partition.
   7. Manually remove files and folders of Windows Vista or Windows 7, including Windows, Program Files and Users folder. If you’re installing to separate partition, just format the partition to clean it instantly (with FDisk, Disk Manager of Computer Management or third party partition management software such as Partition Magic or EASEUS Partition Manager).
   8. On the root system folder of Windows XP, delete Boot.BAK and BootSect.BAK. The two files are remnant backup leftover files of previously installed Windows Vista or Windows 7 bootloader, but no longer useful for Windows XP only system.

Tip: NT52 is the MBR (Master Boot Record) used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, while Windows Vista uses NT6. So if you’re uninstall Windows 7 in Vista/7 dual boot system, change the NT52 in the command to NT60.

Fast Shortcut: It’s also possible to format the Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition straight away, and then start the computer with Windows XP Setup CD to repair the system partition, or run the “bootsect /nt52 c:” command above from the \boot\ folder of leftover OS immediately to repair the boot partition.

Tip: When startup repair the boot record after removing an installed operating system from dual-boot or multi-boot system, always use the highest version of Windows installation DVD/CD to perform the repair. For example, in a tri-boot PC with Windows XP, Vista and 7, after uninstalling Windows 7, use Windows Vista to repair the system. If the PC is restored and reverted back to Windows XP, then use the Windows XP setup CD.
