Do you have winrar or 7zip that opens .iso files ? You could copy the contents of the ISO to a bootable USB

I do and actually I finished redownloading the ISO Image and am currently using Ultimate Boot to remake the USB Stick. Only difference now is its taking longer....

Call me stupid but I always thought it would be a 2 minute copy thing. This has been going for about 10 minutes now...

Create the bootable USB manually .

Open Command Prompt with administrator privileges known as Elevated Command Prompt. To do this, click on

type cmd in the Search programs and files box and then hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Or right-click on CMD under Programs(1) and choose Run as administrator . Type in the commands below . ( Press [ENTER] after every command )

Code:

DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK 1
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS QUICK
ASSIGN
EXIT
EXIT

Note

1 is the number of the hard drive . Disk 0 is the first hard drive . Disk 1 is sometime the USB Flash Drive if only One hard drive is installed .
Assign command assigns a drive letter if you want to assign a letter yourself type in this command ASSIGN LETTER=[input letter here ] without the brackets

No need. Got it booting off USB. Currently installing Windows :)

~~Once that is created just copy the contents to the USB drive . You could even extract the contents from 7zip or winrar~~

Ok good let us know if you need anymore help

Well I can finally say the computer is up and running Windows. I feel silly thinking that the ISO Image would need to be redownloaded, oh well. Thanks everyone for the help :)

Glad you got a clean install

I also suggested as my first step that you needed to redownload the ISO and burn to DVD again.

I stated clearly that the error is always a bad installer.

So skipping that step first given to you by Gary wasted all of that time.

I hope you stuck closely to the steps in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to get a perfect install. Have you installed all of your Important and Optional Windows Updates after enabling Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)? Which drivers are still missing in Device Manager?
