Install 7077 x64 on XP 32-bit

[jblazea50]

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

i already made the flashdrive bootable...i think i got it going now...it was some stupid mistake on my part

another question: do i need a different key for x64 or can i use the same key from x86

I think x86 key works for x64... but my keys are mixed up so I don't know which is which anymore lol

Or you can just get a new key here Windows 7 Beta Customer Preview
