No HDD has been identified in your system.

You have downloaded the latest ISO for your licensed version and written to flash stick using Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool?

The tool should work with those downloads. Try again.

If not use Universal USB Installer.

These are the two easiest and most reliable methods to write ISO to stick. You continually failed using them. This tells me you need a new ISO.

Okay, i have the universal USB installer, and the correct ISO. But when i try and boot the USB i get a black screen with a white cursor, then when i boot the HDD i get "A disk read error has occurred" I need to fix the HDD and then maybe the USB will work.

Earlier you were asking about how to boot a HD Diagnostics test and wipe the HD using USB stick. Try Hiren’s BootCD 15.1 which can rescue your data with a mini-XP explorer if necessary, has numerous HD tests including Data Lifeguard for WD, and then wipe the HD with DBAN. Wiping the HD may force your installer to start. You'll at least know if a stick is bootable on that Acer.

Alrighty greg, I got it booted up (The stick) Whats next?

You have the Hiren's stick booted?

Run WD Data Lifeguard on the HD.

Run Disk Check on the HD from bootable XP.

If the HD checks out, wipe it using Data Lifeguard or DBAN programs.

Okay, turns out when I fixed the HDD it got formatted and partitioned to be Windows XP, Is there a way I can boot the MiniXP and reformat and partition the HDD so it will boot the Windows 7 installation USB?
