Error loading Operating System - USB WIN 7 Install

Okay so all my parts are here and working great.

I've set up the bios. Selected my USB as 1st boot priority and when it boots I get the error in the title. What does this mean?

I burned the ISO straight from my windows 7 disk.

Sorry, I didn't elaborate. I created an ISO from my disk. Used Microsofts USB Windows install application. Selected the ISO then it went from there.

At the moment I'm updating the Bios from F6 to F15 hope this helps.

Yup my Mem stick is USB2.0 so I thought that may have been the problem but nope. I'm doing it your way. Formatted memory stick to NTFS and copying files straight from disk.

Just tried it that way. Same error

. It won't be my Sata setup will it? I've got the controller in Raid mode. 2 Hard Disks in An Array and was hoping to install my windows to the SSD

After I upgraded the motherboard I can't use my old IDE optical drives so I'll need to buy a new one. The disk should work I've used it multiple times. I'll do what you say about unplugging the drives. I should set the controller to AHCI then I guess?

Fastest windows install ever. Must have been done within 5 minutes?

Yup so far so good. Although now gotta figure how to overclock on intels. Only used to AMD
