Hi
Now I can see the picture.... Can you make a DVD?
W7 will not normally install from a USB flash drive, you need extra drivers and steps. It works from a DVD.
Research the USB drivers for your PC.
Please follow the steps below:
- Prepare an USB flash drive and go to Microsoft official web site to build a Windows 7 USB installation disk.
- Click here to download Windows USB Installation Tool.
- Unzip the file and execute WindowsImageTool.
- Make sure Windows 7 USB installation disk is plugged in.
- Select [None-Add USB drivers] in Source Path.
- Choose Windows 7 USB installation disk in Destination Path.
- Click [Start] to run and [Close] when the procedure is done.
- Insert the Windows 7 USB flash drive to the computer you intend to install Windows 7.
- Turn on the computer and press [F12] during POST to enter boot menu.
- Select the Windows 7 USB flash drive to start installation procedure.

Didn't help
I cope 16 files into flash, begin install winodws and Installer didn't recognize dirvers.
I think, the main reason is that it's *.exe packed files(executing package), and installer waiting for native *.drv (or other) files.
