    Hi,

    I just received my brand new laptop and instead of burning Win7 on a DVD, I found out I could use a USB stick. I have an 8gb stick and want to install Win 7 x64. The problem is whenever I use the bootsect /nt60 command, it tells me it isnt a win32 application because I am running a 32bit operating system.

    So I need the Win7 x86 bootsect.exe in order to run that command so I can install it on my new, OS-less laptop! I searched everywhere on google and found something but it didnt work, telling me I had an invalid bootable usb stick. If anyone has Win7 x86, could you please upload/email([email protected]) me the program?

    Thank you very much
