AddRam..
I found it from Microsoft anyway!
But I dont know anyone with a 4gb usb drive, so Im going to ask someone for their external cd/dvd drive instead as Im getting nowhere with this. Why do windows make this difficult I dont know
All other discs work fine.
Like I asked, where did this disc come from ?
Is it store brought ? Did you make it ? Did someone else make it ?
You HAVE TO make sure the disc works !!
Your local computer store will have usb drives, silly

The Windows disc was bought on Amazon a while ago now and I have since used this disc twice successfully, had a few problems loading it up like now, but never this difficult. It is an authentic copy as I confirmed with Microsoft authenticity.
I know I have to buy a USB 4gb stick if that`s what I want to do, but at the moment, I do not have money, for this reason I do not buy one!
I will ask a friend for an external cd/dvd drive, best I think.
Thanks AddRam for your help up to now.
Always glad to try and help.
Like I said, check the disc on another machine, maybe make a copy of it.
Making copies removes any defects. Scratches etc.
Good Luck
Maybe some files on your disc are corrupted . Download an .ISO file of your edition of win7 and then follow AddRAM's 3rd tut .
Where did you get the Win7 DVD? Did you burn it yourself? Burn another using ImgBurn at 4x speed.
Do you get a prompt to "Press any key to boot disk" when you set DVD drive first to boot in BIOS setup?
If not try triggering DVD with the one-time BIOS boot menu key given on first boot screen.
If it doesn't boot then there's something wrong with the DVD, ISO or burn. Is DVD new, clean and unscratched?
