Hey guys,

I recently bought a computer parts and put it together a few days ago. Everything's looking sweet and I can get into the BIOS, so I guess that's a good thing.

Anyway, Windows 7 won't install from a USB drive. I get the an error during the 'expanding windows files' stage, at 50% or 80%. The error is 0x8007025D.

Full system specs:

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
CPU: i5-4670k
GPU: Asus GTX 780 3gb OC
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X 2x4GB 1600Mhz
PSU: XFX 850W pro
Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo

I've tried it with both sticks, and each separately. Could it be RAM and am I checking them separately properly?

Getting very frustrated!

Thanks for the help

The windows 7 ISO I have on my USB right now won't even go past 0% on the expanding windows files stage. It just stays on zero and then gives me the same error message, without the error number.
