Oh, the lengths one must go to get a direct answer from someone. :sarcastic:

Bootsect.exe is located on the Win 7 64-bit install disk at (assume DVD drive is D:) D:\Deploy\Tools

Many tutorials have listed it under D:\Boot, but I've seen otherwise.

If you're like me, you need a 32-bit bootsect.exe because you have 32-bit windows, and it can't run the 64-bit bootsect.exe on the ISO/DVD you're using. I found it in the \Boot folder of a 32-bit ISO. You can probably find the link to download the 32-bit ISO from Digital Rivers if you google it.

If I downloaded this, how would I go about using it to make my USB bootable?

I believe I'm in the same situation you were. I'm on a 32 bit system right now, trying to make a 64 bit USB stick.

Save the bootsect.exe file to the location where you installed the Windows USB/DVD Download Tool (e.g. C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows USB DVD Download Tool)
