Just built a new computer and installed windows 7. I realised I had no CD/DVD drive, no network driver and no USB driver!!! How am I supposed to install the drivers?
Funny thing is, my keyboard and mouse works on the USB ports and I used a USB flash drive to install Windows 7. But it does not recognise my USB flash drive that has all the drivers I need to install on it.
Why doesn't my USB flash drive work???
Please help!

there is a Windows USB Installation Tool utility on the Gigabyte website which should merge the necessary drivers onto your USB Windows7 installation stick.

after that try to install Windows7 again.

Gigabyte blog has an answer: http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.tw/2015/09/having-trouble-installing-windows-7-by.html
"The problem lies in the fact that Windows 7's installer is only compatible with an older type of USB driver. The GIGABYTE 100 series motherboard uses a newer kind of USB driver, meaning you will get an error when trying to install Windows 7."

Personally, I just install from ISO DVD. Never have a problem. In theory, USB should work, but it has "new, improved" versions (Whoopie!!) which may not work without correct drivers. DVD support is built into BIOS and Windows always loads.
