I am looking to create a flash (.swf) file that I can edit using free tools. It must supports the EASY addition of pictures and links all embedded within the .swf file.
Here is the CONTENT OF THE .SWF FILE.
The W7 Install and Boot Record on same partition.

deploy tools: sysprep and imagex
To do this for Windows 7, you must first use the built-in "diskpart" command line interface or other tool such as the Acronis Disk Manager. Simply clicking on "format" within the Windows 7 installer won't work. See the below steps for how using the built-in diskpart command line tool. You can then install into the single partion and the needed boot records will be included.
Steps to providing a solid NTFS format first:
note: The below steps will allow windows to have only one partition containing the OS and its' associated boot record. This is necessary for all MS OS installations since Windows 98. Windows 98 was the last operating system that did not require this extra measure. If you do not know how to use dispart or don't feel comfortable at the command line, then; The latest Acronis Disk Manager boot disk will do the job nicely as well. Here it is from the built-in Windows 7 "diskpart" utility.
boot: from OS cd
choose: repair
choose: use recovery tools
choose: command prompt
type: diskpart
type: list disk (to see your disks)
type: select disk 0 (IF disk 0 is the disk you want to format - You can loose your data here if that is important to you. It is VERY easy to mess up here and loose data so be sure you know what you are selecting if it matters to you. There is no getting your data back if you mess up without both a recollection of exactly what happened, special tools, and significant knowlege of partitioning and boot record technology. BE VERY CAREFULL !)
type: select disk 0
type: clean
type: create partition primary
type: select part 1 (again, see above, be VERY sure)
type: active
type: format fs=ntfs quick
type: exit (to exit diskpart)
type: exit (again, to exit command prompt)
click: the x (upper right, to go back to install options)
click: custom
select: install
select: appropriate partion for installing windows
note: In rare cases, the installation will give an obscure error if another partition containing a prior boot record is found in the system. In this case, you will need to physically remove the device containing the offending partition before you can complete this step.
