Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool doesn't recognize USB device
I'm trying to reinstall Windows 7 by putting my .ISO file on a bootable USB device but can't seem to get the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to locate my USB drive in Step 3. I enter the location of my ISO file in step 1; select USB in step 2, and when I get to step 3 the only device listed is "N:\ (Removable disk)". I have a new 32gb USB stick that I used the Disk Management utility to format as a NFTS drive, then when that didn't work I also went thru the diskpart steps shown in another post on this site. The USB drive does show up as a writeable drive on my system. If I look at it in the Disk Management utility it displays as drive H, "Healthy (Active, Primary Partition)". I tried the refresh button in Step 3 and restarted the utility but still drive N is the only drive that is displayed and I don't currently have anything mapped to drive N. Any help is appreciated; thank you.
