I'm helping a fellow I met on the forums with his build, and I'm running into a snag. He has limited knowledge of computers, and due to the fact that obviously we are in different geographical locations the support I can offer is limited. He has a Windows7 iso file downloaded from MS Academic Alliance, the problem he has no other computers in the house that have anything but Windows XP 32 bit. Every time he uses the Windows7 USB/DVD download tool it lets him go thru the process, but at the end it gives an error message bout a missing bootsect file. The USB created on Windows XP will not install the OS on the new computer (which did successfully POST to his credit). I've googled around trying to find a simple solution to this problem, and I'm coming up empty
Yes, I know there are ways to drop a bootsect file into the system file.. but what I'm looking for is a no complicated BS solution, such as a iso creation tool thats free that will not have this same problem as the Windows 7 Download tool..
BTW, its an outrage that microsoft would make something so complicated.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
