Windows 7 fails to install from bootable USB. Please HELP!

[bz2h]

Hi all, I was just installing windows 7 from bootable USB when I noticed the "copying windows files" only lasts for about 2 seconds (jumping from 0 to 100% in the process) before continuing to the next step. The whole setup process actually finishes without a problem. But the result is only about 5GB of usage of the hard drive and no creation of the 100MB system partition. I thought it might be the new SSD I'm installing it to so I tried installing on another hard drive, didn't work either. Anyone have any idea as to what might be going on? Thanks in advance!

Download Windows 7 ISO from reliable source and reformat your USB (NTFS), then copy the contents of the ISO file to your USB's root folder. After that's done, run command prompt as administrator, assuming your USB's drive letter is X: type following:

x:
cd boot
bootsect /nt60 x: /force /mbr

If your USB's icon changes to Windows 7's setup icon in Computer, it means it's bootable.

Hi I just tried this but it didn't work...any other ideas? my image is from DreamSpark. I guess I'll try to download it again and see if it makes any difference.

Sorry I didn't make it clear in my post, but the bootable USB drive is made by the windows 7 usb/dvd download tool
