I have my Windows 7 x64 ISO on my pendrive, but WinToFlash app forgot to install the MBR (again).
The only PC I have, uses x86 Win7 , so it won't install the bootrec.exe, since that is a 64bit binary.
I need the /boot/ folder from the Win7 ISO/disc. (32-bit)
Where can I download only that? Can anyone give me a link?
@Shiki This is happening 'lots of times'? You need something better than WinToFlash. Take a look at Rufus. Free, open source, and it's never failed me yet. http://rufus.akeo.ie. I'm not affiliated with Rufus at all, I just use it and it work well.

I doubt you'd be able to download folder folders such as those.. without having to resort to "seedy" places. Perhaps I can upload it somewhere. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2011-06-14T11:01:35.143
I'd appreciate that upload. But seriously... Microsoft doesn't provide a legal way for people? :/ – Apache – 2011-06-14T12:19:49.637
you can borrow a Windows DVD or download a Windows DVD over torrents and use your key and remain legal. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2011-06-14T12:30:33.357
@Sathya - I'm using MSDN ISO. But this happened to me a lot of times. Downloaded the ISO from my MSDNAA account. Made the (there are some options here) USB install "disk", and then it wouldn't boot. Now, you don't have a PC where you can fix things ... worse if you have a PC with XP and so on. Downloading the whole ISO again (since you used YOUR PC to do that), takes some time. – Apache – 2011-06-14T13:05:03.970
