For to remove ei.cfg isn't something simple, you need to know the risks, I had uploaded the tool used for long years for to create my own AIO. I had readed too much before to do changes to an original windows iso file. This error I had haved when was starting my practices with Windows 7, but after I had founded this tool for remove ei.cfg file and solve my problems like you.

 

Here is posted the tool:

maybe obvious but tried disabling secure boot  and also setting bios to CSM/Legacy?

There is no secure boot and EFI and neither UEFI this computer is OLD, but it is designed to be able to use Windows 7.

Windows USB/DVD Download Tool only can to create generic USB drive boot for BIOS legacy modes, If your laptop have UEFI and Secure Boot enabled, will never The USB will boot, why this was to create for BIOS legacy, ok

Hi @asfif you could post screenshots of alls the options of BIOS setup de your Toshiba laptop.

Only the main options

Again for gods sake,

 

The laptop does not have EFI neither UEFI, it's and old laptop.

As so i could/should perfectly use Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool, as i need legacy.

 

Thanks

@asf Buy a dvd. Also try this with another usb and a new iso of any other window or any bootable iso.Try it another laptop if it boots or not. Try Ultraiso but having it installed in your computer. I make usb for windows 7 (legacy and UEFI) and also windows 8.1(UEFI) with it without any problems. Do it with a clean iso that is not tampered. The booting problem is because the iso is tampered with

as you can see it was already posted, and i also already answered for that, have a look please below.

 

 

 

( If you are using the Ultimate ISO, deleting ei.cfg is OK. If you are creating a non-UEFI installation, you must use NTFS, not FAT32.)

 

Did you try the bootsect.exe that I sent to you? Is it giving you the same error? If so, do ALL the steps to create the USB manually on your laptop, but for that ONE STEP involving bootsect.exe, do it on another computer.
