I'm trying to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool from the Microsoft Store to make my new 16 GB USB Flash drive bootable to install Windows. It worked the first time that I did this (for Windows 7 Pro 32-bit), but now it keeps failing at the end. (I'm trying to make it bootable with the Windows 7 Pro 64-bit installation DVD ISO.) I've tried to do this on two different computers (Windows XP Pro 32-bit & Windows 7 Pro 32-bit) with the same error:
Files copied successfully. However, we were unable to run bootsect to make the USB device bootable. If you need assistance with bootsect, please click the 'Online Help' link above for more information.
Clicking the link just takes me to the Microsoft store homepage, and a search for Jim FellJim Fell
bootsect from there yields no search results. I've tried to burn a DVD twice using Sonic RecordNow!, but even though it finishes without 'errors,' the disk is unreadable. :( Does anyone know why this keeps failing and how I may fix it?

It would seem that
bootsect was failing because the device was already bootable.
This morning I decided to try using it to boot with the Windows 7 Professional 64-bit installer image loaded on it, despite the failure, just to see what would happen. Surprise-surprise, it worked. -_-

Warning: This will erase all data on this USB stick.
Launch a command prompt with admin rights and run the diskpart tool:
The “list disk” command will show you the connected drives and with “select disk”, you can choose your USB stick. Be careful to select the right drive or else your day won’t have a happy end. The crucial step here is the “clean” command. It overwrites the MBR and the partition table (thereby, deleting everything on the stick).

I was trying to create Win7x64 bootable USB stick. Using WinXPx32 SP3, the tool failed for me as described. Luckily, I was able to get access to a Win7x64 machine instead, and there it worked just fine.

To make the USB device bootable, you need to run a tool named bootsect.exe. In some cases, this tool needs to be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This may happen if you're trying to create a 64-bit bootable USB device from a 32-bit version of Windows. To download bootsect:

Try to format (FAT32) your USB drive but not using quick option !
You can then check again (using explorer or chkdsk) to see if all sectors are readable.After formating (from Windows 7) the USB drive will have proper Windows 7 MBR and PBR.
Never had problems with Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.

I had this issue when trying to create a bootable Windows 7 USB stick for an older laptop (Thinkpad T410).
Even with this warning, it still should boot as far as I understand, but the reason it didn't for me was because I had an older BIOS, so what I ended up doing was using the Rufus USB tool with the following settings:
Notice the 'Partition scheme' and 'Target system'.
I guess the Windows USB tool assumes UEFI and uses the wrong partition scheme? I don't really know, but this worked for me.
