    I can't seems to install Windows 7 on a USB flash drive. Theres always this error

    Remove disk or other media
    Press any key to restart.

    I have set the USB drive to a primary partition

    using in CMD,

    diskpart
    list disk
    select disk 5
    clean
    create partition primary
    select partition 1
    active
    format fs=fat32 quick
    assign
    exit

    and I've copy the Windows 7 ISO to the flash drive.

    It is not possible to install anything from a USB drive if just copy the iso.
    This should work:

    I think this should be moved to to the windows forums. Oh well, I guess there's no need for backseat modding.

    Anyway, the image should be burned on a Digital Versatile Disk(DVD).
    Use BurnCdCC. It's more newbie friendly than other Image burning software.
