Hi! One thing I think you should try is using a completely different USB drive. I had to install Windows through USB on one of my builds, and for whatever reason one of my USB drives would not work. I simply switched to a different USB drive, and for whatever reason it worked just fine. That's just my recommendation.

Are you trying to install via USB 3.0 (blue) ports? If so you won't be successful. The Windows 7 installer does not support USB 3.0. Most systems have at least one USB 2.0 port (black) or have the ability via BIOS to set the ports to legacy mode.

What you have to do is change the usb port when it does the error and then hit escape or cancel to get back to the install windows and then it should work.

If you just restart it and change usb port it will have the same problem over and over again.

This is it!. Had the same problem with MSI A88XI motherboard and tried with a USB (3.0) installation and failed one time after another, until I did the change of USB that boosted1g suggested. Thank you very much
