    Hi,

    After I have down load the 64bit version iso file, I try to create the iso image file with IsoBuster. However, Isobuster does not allow me to do that because I am using 32 bits machine.

    I can not use 32bits machine to write 64bit iso image file...!!!

    I need help to do the clean 64 bits version on 32 bit machine.

    Thank you in advance

    Pall, you need a 64bit processor to use a 64bit operating system.

    U can't use a 64bit operating system on a 32bit machine...

    sorry

    I'm not sure I understand your problem. So you have the Win7 x64 ISO file, and you want to burn it on a disc? There shouldn't be any problem with that, even if you use a 32-bit machine (it's just raw data anyway...) What are you using ISOBuster for? If you want to burn it on a disc, use Imgburn.

    If you downloaded a ready to go x64 ISO file, then what do you mean you are trying to create an iso with ISObuster?

    Download Imgburn and just burn the ISO to a DVD.
    And ISO does not care if there are 32 bit or 64 bit operating system files within it.


    And double check your processor can support x64 before you make a coaster and wipe out whatever you currently have on your computer.

    As i said, he can burn a 64bit image on a dvd, but can't use it, unless he has a 64bit processor, which he hasn't...

    Sorry for writing this, but you shouldn't install an OS at all. Do yourself a favor and ask a friend for help in real life. Reading this thread I must think of a non-swimmer asking for help with SCUBA diving. It's no shame to be a newbie, but one should know his own limits.

    Try each one individually or just do them all.
    Check the BIOS and disable AHCI
    Remove any external hard drives/usb drives if connected
    Burn a new DVD at half the speed of your burner (ie. an 8x burner? then burn at 4x)


    If it is still not working or you cannot figure out how to do the troubleshooting steps then you will probably need some direct hand holding and would need to get a buddy to help out out locally.

    You can always do the usual memory and hard drive checking for errors.
    For memory run Memtest86+ for a couple hours - no errors = good
    For disk run MHDD and run a scan to check for bad sectors and remap them if needed. (please real the manual for this software so you know how to use it)
