Hi all, I downloaded the Windows 7 Ultimate x86 md5 - 2572274e6b0acf4ed1b502b175f2c2db sha1 -65fce0f445d9bf7e78e43f17e441e08c63722657 and finished installing in an hour and checked the system operating system4 by right clicking my computer > properties.. it says that the operating system is 64bit not 32bit?? the .iso file is X17-59463 which is the x86. Iso downloaded from mydigitalriver links are wrong? I'm really confused.. Thanks boo
I did diskpart/clean/convert mbr/create primary partition 100gb/format ntfs/ and installed win 7 on that disk. We have two drives and the other drive I left alone because it contained all our data. What more can I provide to you that I have done during the installation process?
Your iso is good. It's x86 32-bit. Perhaps you accidently pointed your dvd burner or iso-to-usb tool at the wrong file? Fun fact: same hash as the MSDN file: en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x86_dvd_u_677460.iso It's win7sp1 ultimate with the media refresh update integrated.
...nothing is wrong. You downloaded and installed a 32-bit OS (x86) on your 64-bit system (x64). /edit/ ...I've got a 64-bit system running a 32-bit OS myself. *see screenshot* but unless you've some critical peripherals that do not have 64-bit drivers or you're low on RAM I'd recommend running a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit system.
call it a newbie mistake but seems like I used the x64 bit (selected 64 bit OS ) when creating a bootable drive.
as long as you have a 64bit system, that isn't a problem. the 64bit os wont install on 32 bit anyway, so if you are running it must be good lol. Mistakes happen to the best of us
