I also have the same problem; I have 5 drives in My Computer. Every one of them partitioned utilizing the NTFS file system. My windows XP Professional 32 bit is in C: drive. I do not mind losing the data in C: as that is where I have intended to install windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. On the other hand, I do require the files in the further drives. Here my query is: Will I be able to access those files in the further drives later than installing windows 7 x64 in C: drive?

If it is possible to reinstate the 64 bit bootsect file with a 32 bit bootsect file on his thumb drive, so that he can boot from it, and setup on a newly formatted hard drive. He is not annoying to begin the installer on his 32 bit system; he is annoying to create a bootable thumb drive for 64 bit on a 32 bit system, which is not possible. As for a reply, I cannot assist you. I am at the similar trouble. I have attempted downloading other people?s bootsect files and reinstating them with the 64 bit ones, but I still don't boot from the USB drive on a restart. I am going insane. If anyone establishes any solution, please provide to me.
