Ok so it does actually boot but not from where i want it to, I'm trying to a clean install of windows 7 ult x64. I downloaded the ISO and used the tool to move it to a flash drive so i could re-install. Unfortunately, my comp won't boot from the flash drive. It skips right over it and goes directly to the hard drive. I tried it with legacy on and off, i also tried deleting the boot order so it would only boot from the drive. Still nothing, Whenever i deleted everything but the drive from the boot order it showed me a screen that said something along the lines of "Please add boot device and add any key". I look for secure boot and CSM but couldn't find either option, i know some have them hidden until you turn off quick boot and i tried that.

I'm currently running a Fx-6300, my mobo has bios version 1303 (i still need to update some time). Any help would be appreciated!

1) Make sure the USB function is enable in the BIOS.
2) Make sure you use the back I/o panel USB port .
3) Make sure boot from USB in the BIOS.
4) Make sure you do the right bootable win7 USB, you maybe remake it again or re-download the win7 iso from legal download site.
