BootRec.exe is not officially available for download. However, you can extract it from any legitimate Windows 7 ISO.
You'll need something capable of reading a WIM file - 7zip should suffice for this. From the root of the ISO, open .sourcesboot.wim. From there, BootRec.exe can be found in .1WindowsSystem32.
Microsoft doesn't offer individual files from their operating systems available for download. However, you can legally and safely download the entire Windows 7 64-bit .iso from http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65805/X15-65805.iso
Sources: This SuperUser answer, which provides a full list of ISOs available for download, as well as that answer's original source.
Or you could visit a friend and make a copy of the file from their computer...
you can find it in the install.wimWindowsSystem32RecoveryWinre.wimWindowsSystem32bootrec.exe
Or simply download the entire .Iso installer file of the windows OS you are using and look for it in the folders or simply do a search in that directory.
You can also install grub on the drive using a linux distro which will automatically scan and add all available operating systems on the drive to it's loader.Note removing the usb drive woun't affect booting.

You can open up boot.wim using the free 7-Zip utility at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Hiren's Boot CD contains several boot environments that include that tool, among others (Try Mini Windows XP). You can download it here:
Download:http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/
Info:http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
If you have a working computer that has a similar image, such as in an enterprise environment, you can do the following: WindowsKey + R and then type recdisc.exe and press Enter. This will give you the dialog used to create a repair disc which when finished contains a WinRE-image that has BootRec.exe on it.
If you can still boot into Windows, then this should work on Windows 10:
- From the windows start menu, or in the cortana search box enter ‘Change advanced Startup Options’
- Alternatively go to 'Settings' from the windows start menu, and search 'Recovery options'.
- Under 'Advanced Starup' click 'Restart now'.
When the computer restarts, choose 'Troubleshoot', 'Advanced options', and select 'Command Prompt'.

When the computer restarts, you should get a recovery prompt where 'bootrec.exe' is available. You may have to login with your windows account first.

Hi,Be sure you are actually booting to the USB drive if using a USB boot disk.
Check Dell's on-line documentation, diagnostics, and ask in their forums about known issues. Dell should have troubleshooting methods on-line to help with such issues.
