Can't boot to USB

I'm sick and tired of this. Ever since i got my SSD i haven't been able to install any OS on it because my computer won't simply boot to my USB. It's till today i took this problem seriously and was tired of my 7-minute long bootup time on my HDD. I've tried everything to make it boot, everything! I've installed many different flavours of Linux on my USB, and those who worked only got me into the selection of 64-bit, memtest etc then crashes when i choose to boot and install. Windows dosen't even work to boot from, it just gives me the little white line in an infinite loop. So I'm begging you guys on SF to help me as this is extremely frustrating and i just want a 30-second bootup time. I'm desperate.

Exactly how do you hook up your SSD?

Please complete this tutorial by Golden so we can have a look.

Hi,
Usually I just use option 2 here with rufus

You have to suspect the usb is bad or the iso ?
Formatting the ssd is pretty easy via WHS's tutorial
SSD - Install and Transfer the Operating System

Code:

Diskpart
List disk
Select disk n (where n is the number that was given for your SSD in List disk)
Clean
Create partition primary align=1024
Format fs=ntfs quick
Active (assuming you want to install an OS)
Exit

Most other people but not all people. That is why I asked.

Let me know if I'm understand you correctly.

1. You are trying to install Windows 7 on Disk #1.
2. You are using a ISO that you have installed on a usb flash drive. (thumb drive)
------------------------

Things I have noticed.
1. Unallocated space in front of the Windows 7 (C) on Disk (0). We can fix that later when this problem is solved.

2. Disk one is Active without a partition letter, which means Windows 7 can't see it.

** Is their anything on Disk #1?
** Is Disk #1 where you want to install Windows 7 again? (SSD)

What I'm trying to do is know for sure what you have and what exactly you are trying to do.

If you are trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 to Disk #1 this turorial by Brink works just fine. First unhook Disk # 0.

Clean Install Windows 7

Every time I do a clean install I take a refresher course using Brinks tutorial and it always works for me.

This is also very helpful if you are using a usb flash drive.

Just in case I'm not understanding correctly I have requested another member to take a look.

Why not make your life easy and just use a dvd, they are so cheap.

And cd`s for Linux versions that will fit on a cd, which is getting rarer.

Until you get a new usb stick, which are also dirt cheap.

There is not 1 benefit of installing windows by usb, and a lot of people can`t even figure out how to do it.

And I hope you are disconnecting any other drives when you are doing your install.

Hi,
Is disk1 the ssd ?
Unless you have uefi bios and secure boot is messing with you seems odd if files copy to it okay....
Default settings on the tutorial for Rufus always works for me.

I also prefer DVD for installing Windows 7.
It just makes it a lot simpler and quicker.
Thanks Brian for answering my request.

I don't think that old motherboard bios has such a thing as UEIF or Secure Boot.

Hi,
Yea I don't either
What I did was just changed the boot order so usb was first instead of dvd and seemed to work good.
Default I would image is dvd then main os
Pushing usb first will allow the press any key to boot to usb to be shown.
