do i need to follow the UEFI rules for the bootable flash drive? since i am installing windows 7 64 bit?

"The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool does not work with UEFI.

To create a 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 8 UEFI USB flash drive, see:

How to Create a Bootable UEFI USB Flash Drive for Installing Windows 7 and Windows 8"

Edit: Just tryed adding the ISO file i downloaded into the win 7 usb/dvd download tool and it says its not a Valid ISO file...

Your motherboard (Gigabyte X58A-UD3) is to old for UEFI.

Are you saying you can't burn the ISO file you just downloaded to a DVD?

This is what I get after I start installing from the USB ..

I have seen that happen when the USB stick is plugged into a USB 3.0 port (blue). Most motherboards, even newer ones, can't recognize USB3 ports at the BIOS level for Windows install.

Plug the stick into a USB 2 port (black) and try it.

Thank you all

Glad thing worked well for you.

Make yourself a little note that will remind you what TVeblen has posted.

Just because something says it will work with usb III doesn't mean it will.
I have some usb III keyboards that will not work properly in usb III ports but all will work just great in usb II ports. I using fairly new equipment and every thing is up to date. I can't tell you why it is that way, I just have found at times it is.
