booting system from usb win7x64 it creates x:\ booter; usb itself on c:. did dos testdisk from c: where i copied it to earlier and from x:\ which i copied it to too. "not supported ; need x86 or x64" seems can't run dos apps....
did testdisk_win exe win from both c: and x: as well. "subsystem needed to support" , etc image wasn't found or something like that.

what are my options?
