    Install 7077 x64 on XP 32-bit


    i downloaded the x64 7077 and want to install it on 32-bit XP...i opened the ISO file and put everything in the bootable flash drive, and then changed the BIOS to boot from USB...however, that didn't work...the computer is 64-bit capable as it has 4gm ram and AMD Phenom Quad processor...when I opened the folder inside the flash drive and double clicked on setup.exe, it says it can't open the 64-bit

    so is there anything i need to do or am i doing something wrong that's preventing me from installing the 64 bit?

    thanks

    You need to make the usb bootable first Creating Bootable Vista / Windows 7 USB Flash Drive at Kevin’s Blog and you will need to do a clean install
