I have built a new gaming rig last week and tried to install Windows 7 of my USB Stick, it showed me an error saying something like "Please select proper boot media and reboot" or something along those lines.

I have checked if the boot order was set to boot from usb, and even tried opening boot menu and booting from USB

I then ran a live USB of Mint Linux, which worked like a charm and downloaded Windows 8.1 onto the same USB, it booted no problem and installed with ease.

I stuck with Windows 8.1 for a while and i don't really like it and really want windows 7

My motherboard is the MSI z97 PC Mate

I've installed the lastest bios update

Any help will be appreciated!
