I'm trying to boot from a USB drive so I can install Windows 7...I can't do it from my DVD drive because that is SATA and is connected to a PCI card.
I used the "Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool" to create a bootable USB from an iso i downloaded here. It appeared to work fine so then i went into my BIOS and there were two bootable USB option. One was 'USB FDD' or something and the other was 'USB ZIP'. They both brought me to a screen with some of my computer information and at the bottom it said, 'A Disk Read Error Occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to Restart'
Any help to either get me booting from USB or DVD drive would be greatly appreciated
