" That doesn't seem to make sense? If I'm already running 32-Bit version, wouldn't I already have the 32-Bit version? It seems I would need to copy the x64 version into the tool directory? “If you’re currently using a 32-bit version of Windows and want to create a bootable USB drive containing the 64-bit (x64) version of Windows 7, you’ll need to obtain the bootsect.exe file from the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows 7. ”
