In some cases, this tool needs to be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. To make the USB device bootable, you need to run a tool named bootsect.exe. I've trolled the boards on other ways to load windows from a USB, but there has to be an easier way, or in fact, a reason to why I'm unable to execute the USB/DVD download tool.

I've downloaded the ISO, but my situation arises when I download and try to run the windows 7 USB/DVD Download So, instead, I upgraded to the 32 bit version of windows 7, in hopes later on I could simply upgrade to the 64 bit version. Apparently, I found out the hard way that you can't directly upgrade to the 64 bit version of windows 7 from a 32 bit windows XP. I couldn't find my XP 64 bit disks (just recently moved) so I used my very vintageĬopy of the regular XP 32 bit that I had lying around. My hard drive burnt up, had to go and get a replacement. I just recently upgraded from Windows XP 64 Bit to Windows 7 64 bit, which I downloaded off the Microsoft website. I'll go and share my whole situation in hopes it will all help.
