    That has a couple of problem areas.

    Do you have a Win 7 DVD? yes/no

    Okay, sorry for being confusing. Im trying to do a clean install with my USB stick. I have all the files on it.. There all put on correctly. But Im stuck on step 8 of the link you posted. When I try and boot. My screen goes black after the windows logo, and the only thing there is my cursor.
    Start over and use the latest official installer ISO for your licensed version written to stick with the tool in Steps 1 and 2 of the tutorial.

    Are you sure it's even trying to boot off of the USB flash drive that you're trying to install from?

    Tap the Acer F12 key at bootup, then choose the stick to boot. It should be listed in the Boot Menu which comes up under USB, Removable or HD's. Click the + if necessary to expand each entry until you find the stick, highlight it and choose it.

    If it doesn't appear then it's not formatted correctly so start over with a new ISO and write it to stick using the tool given.

    You must boot the stick.

    It is. I changed it to boot from USB HDD in the BIOS.. When it boots off the original HDD it says A disk read error occurred
    Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
