hi the laptop supports 64 bit. it has a 64 bit ready processer. i made the dvd drive first in boot order but still wont boot i also tried making my usb devices first and trying to boot but still no use. will the way of marking the c drive as inactive work? oh my mistake it came with windows 7 32 bit and 2 gb of ram. now i put 4gb ram in it and the processer is a 3.1ghz i3 so its given as 64 bit ready. please help. i have never seen this kind of a problem. i also upgraded the bios.
