Actually, making a USB installation key is very easy. In fact, all you need to do is drag the installation files to it!

Be sure to read this tutorial; I use method 2. USB Windows 7 Installation Key Drive - Create

Jonathan: Is there something wrong with this (my) tutorial???

rosokan: At what point in this process do you get the "not valid" message?

I also think Jonathan and I were on the same page... I realize that you want a bootable USB, but have you been able to test your iso by burning a good DVD from it?

It doesn't work. If I make an ISO file of my Windows 7 DVD using Imgburn's "create image file from disc" feature, and then run the program to make a Windows 7 bootable USB flash drive, I click next after loading the ISO and it says "The selected file is not a valid ISO file."

That happens sometimes with the first iso. Try creating an iso again.
Or you can download one:
Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life

I tried creating another ISO and I got the same error message.

Hello ESL,

Did you already try using a downloaded ISO from the link above that is the same Home Premium edition as what you currently have installed to see how that works?

Yes, I did. Downloading an ISO from that link works. I'm just puzzled as to why an ISO created from my own physical Windows 7 disc results in an error.
