Bootsect.exe Problem
Jan 8, 2010
I am trying to do a usb upgrade of 64 bit windows7 on my 32bit vista computer. My laptops dvd drive is broken so I got a digital copy of windows7.
The problem I am having is that to prepare the usb drive and make it bootable I need to run a program called bootsect.exe. The problem however is that this is a 64 bit program and I cannot execute it from my 32 bit vista install.
Does anyone know a way around this? I need to complete the final step which is making my usb drive bootable.
I have the 32bit version of bootsect.exe will this work and then go on to install 64 bit ?

Where can I get this file. I am trying to make a USB Boot drive, But I do not have Bootsect.exe on My windows 7 64-bit DVD. Home version. Is this only on Pro or Ultimate, or only on the 32 bit version ?

I am running an ASUS U-47 laptop and am trying to access the system recovery options. However, when I try and access them, which I have done from both the recovery partition as well as a system repair disc, I am only directed to the restore to jfactory preset wizard, which offers me three options; restore windows to entire HD, just this partition, or 2 partitions. I am trying to access the bootsect.exe in order to remove grub, and as far as I can see, the only way to do that is through the command prompt in the system recovery environment.
