   It will could run a 32bit system and I have tried it on windows 7 32bit, and   
   it worked here on, that my work pc is a dual boot system with xp 32bit default   
   boot up and where I have a external SATA 250MB connected with win7 32bit   
   installed on and have 3 partions, and my fido point systems on usb have been   
   run fine here.

   Why my work pc is on service to get a new motherboard, have I got me a new   
   super HP portable with win7 64bit and tried to see if I could use my usb point   
   system on here, and the dos pkzip/pkunzip + infozip would not work and win7   
   said get a 64bit packer and fido files to be installed.   
      
      
     Take care,
