I have been trying to follow this since I had the same type of issue. I went through downloading the iso, got rufus to make a usb flash drive a bootable device and now in the process of installing windows on my pc. Should I have completely erased everything off the pc first?

 

Also my issue right now is getting an error message during the install of win 7 and it says 

 

"A required CD/DVD drive device ddriver is missing. If you have a driver floppy ddisk,CD, DDVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

 

Note: if the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step"

 

Then after pressing "OK" I'm given this dialog box

 

"No device drivers were foundd.Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, andd then click OK."

 

I thought that the usb flash drive wouldd have everything on it to do this installation. What am I missing here that it is asking for?

I found my issue, it was due to the usb being in a usb 3.0 (usually blue) slot rather than a standard (black). Silly silly silly.
