    Need Some Help With Win.7

    ok so i've been trying to make my USB drive bootable for windows 7.. and i get all the way to the part where i type /nt60 X: in the command prompt and it says the the bootsect.exe is not a valid win32 application...

    i did some googling on not a valid win32 application and it said files were corrupt or something... but unfortunately im on vacation visiting my dad in a different state and the internet he has has a download cap of like 400mb download within a 24hour limit and if i exceed that limit the whole internet goes slow for 24hours so I can't really re-download the whole W7 beta ISO...

    So i was wondering if someone that has the ISO could compress an zip or rar archive of their boot folder with the setup.exe, bootmgr.efi, and bootmgr file thats in the main directory for me please? I think these are the only things that may be corrupted and i can't find the files anywhere on google or anything.. So this would be very very much appreciated..

    Or if anyone could help me with my issue that would be great also.

    Thx.

    Have you formatted the usb and copied all the 7 files onto it?

    That is all you need .

    C:\Boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 X: is not needed - because you have the 7 dvd contents including bootmgr on the usb drive.

    Mark it active - it should boot fine.

    Change the drive letter first - never use X.

    (If you are wondering where bootmgr is - it is a hidden file - you need to show hidden files and protected operating system files to see it -)

    ohh ok,, well yes i formated the usb drive to NTFS files format.. set it to active, etc.. and extracted the ISO files and copied them all onto the usb.. but when i try to boot to the USB for some reason it won't.. I went into my bios and i have like 4 different USB things to boot from..

    USB-HDD
    USB-FDD
    USB-CD
    USB-XX (XX cause I can't seem to remember what it was)

    and I've tried all of those and none of them have seem to booted from the USB .. It just booted right into Windows XP..

    http://maketecheasier.com/boot-and-i...ive/2009/01/23 <-- this is the guide i was following.. i did everything except the /nt60 I: part because it wouldn't let me.. and i just copied all of the extracted ISO files to the USB drive.. please let me know if I did anything wrong.

    and also... what do you mean by all 7 files? theres 5 folders and 4 files on the usb drive which are.. File: boot, efi, sources, support, and upgrade
    Files: autorun, bootmgr.efi, bootmgr, and setup.exe

    Here is the way I would do it;

    1. IF YOU HAVE A DVD :

    Open an elevated cmd prompt :

    diskpart
    lis disk (find your USB Drive number e.g. 2)
    sel disk 2
    clean
    cre par pri
    sel par 1
    act
    for fs=ntfs
    ***

    For a 7 dvd where dvddrive is D and usb is E :

    * xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\

    [For an .iso - you could extract the contents directly from PowerIso ( free version is fine ) directly onto the USB drive.]


    2. IF YOU HAVE AN .ISO:

    Download Ultraiso ( free version will be fine). It will do it all for you.

    ISO CD DVD image creator, editor and ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO converter - UltraISO can extract/create/edit/convert CD and DVD image files directly, make bootable CDs and convert ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO.

    Plug in USB drive - no need to do the above commands.

    Open Ultaiso - ( run as admin on Vista).

    Click File>Open - browse to the 7 .iso

    Highlight USB Drive (1) - Click Write Disk image(2) - in the next window , select Verify and Click Write (leave the default USB-HDD+ and Express Boot as they are). Close when done . That is all.

    Jboi - you need to select USB-FDD in Bios .

    Ok so I did the USB thing and it went through successfully.. now ur saying i need to boot from USB-FDD in the bios? I will try that right now after this post to make sure..

    But when I boot into windows XP before the Windows XP splash screen shows it says

    Invalid BOOT.INI file
    booting from c:\windows

    then boots into windows... I wonder if that may have anything to do with it? Because I'm pretty sure I've tried booting with USB-FDD before but im going to try again just to make sure...

    and also again with the whole ".exe is not a valid win32 application" errors im not sure if thats normal or not because i seen somewhere where it said that those errors could mean file corruption or download corruption..

    but anyways let me test this out real quick.

    Ok so here I am and obviously... Didn't work..

    I made sure I went into the BIOS and selected the First Boot Device as USB-FDD..

    and it just booted into windows XP.. So i'm not sure whats really wrong.. Could it be missing drivers on my Mobo? I'm pretty sure the BIOS is updated to the Latest Version.

    Or could it be my USB Drive? its a 8GB Sandisk Cruzer U3

    I'm thinking though, it has something to do with the ".exe not being a valid win32 application" and that somehow while my file was downloading when I was back up North a lil while back, it could have corrupted somehow?

    I'm down South ATM and the internet here has a Download Limit.

    So thats why I was asking for someone to possibly send me a boot file along with the other main directory files? because it would be withing my download limit to just do that and see if that would work.
