You sure its not a USB 3 port?? Because you cant use a USB 3 port, to install Win7.

It'll say the same thing unless you add USB 3 drivers

Yeah, unfortunately I have tried every USB port and even referred to my motherboards manual to ensure that I was using USB 2.0........

I downloaded the iso. from digitalrivercontent.net. I then used PowerIso to create the bootable USB as the Windows 7 USB tool would not recognize my iso.

mm try rufus see if you get any further. http://rufus.akeo.ie/ select the flash drive under drive. If the system supports uefi select ntfs / gpt.. add iso wait for it to finish

I found an old disk drive that I'm going to try and jury rig onto my PC. Maybe I can burn the iso to a disk and get it to work that way.....I am really at wit's end here.....
