Yes you can. Use XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx) as described in the option 3 of the wiki (http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware). (I use this method under W7 64-bit Ultimate and works fine)
Actually option 1 of the said wiki might be a better method, though I haven't tried it (have xp-mode installed already):
"Disabling signed driver detection is done by choosing the option "Boot without checking for signed drivers" (or something similar) in the boot-menu. To display the boot-menu press the "F8" key as soon as the windows boot process starts. The rest of the process is similar to XP. "
This was already discussed many times on this forum and nobody as yet that i know of has clear instructions how to flash using 64bit W7, so if you have please tell everybody.

It still seems a bit vague as it says in the beggining it is only available to certain versions of W7 he believes, oh well i really DO hope this is in fact possible and can clearly be written up on here.
Incidently i am sure the publisher on youtube is a user on this forum lol.

guys i watched this video. i do this all the same but it doesn't work.
is it normal that when i attach my nokia n900 with holding u i hear a beep like attaching a usb-stick or any other usb device.
i just can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
although i haven't found out yet about the "not checking drivers" option. when i press f8 when booting i get a list with my hd, external hd, cd drive etc.
can anyone explain please?

You realise what your saying here? install virtual box THEN ubunto (linux os) then if you dont know how to use linux you have to research everything to enable you to just work with ubuntu, i think far far easier to just go to a 32bit pc with xp and flash.
XP mode in windows 7 is only available in Pro or Ultimate editions. VirtualBox runs on anything...

got ulitmate w7 64-bits... got all the things get xp mode running. actually i got xp mode running already, but i just can't seem to manage to flash my n900.
