Error installing windows 7 on a new computer is driving me crazy.

[Kinoso]

Hello there. I really need help for I don't know what can I do. I just gifted a PC for my girlfriend, but I ordered it without operating system.

I was planning to create a bootable Flash drive with windows 7 ultimate for to install. I created it and I booted from it. I made the first step, when it comes up with an error. It says that it can't find a device controller for CD/DVD. Thing is that this pc has not DVD reader. I've been searching but I can't find anything useful.

Specs:
AeroCool Strike-X Power 600W
AMD A10-7850K 3.7Ghz
Asus A58M-A/USB3
G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2x4GB CL876.95
WD Caviar Black 1TB SATA3 7200rpm

Could anyone help me? Really much appreciatted. Thank you!

Plug it into a USB 2.0 port instead of a USB 3.0 port. See what happens.

Hi

Is this Windows 7 ultimate a genuine retail or OEM DVD or a ISO downloaded from Digital River or Microsoft ?
or a corrupt pirate copy ?

How did you create the bootable flashdrive with Win 7 ultimate
You should be using the Microsoft program
there are other programs but Microsoft recomends their own program

Hello;

It's not a corrupt pirate copy; it's just the 30 days trial that microsoft itself offers. Still, I didn't used their tool, I used something called 'A bootable USB'. Should I try with their tool?

Oh, ok guy. I connected it to 2.0 and It's installing. Lol. simpler than that.

Thank you very much.
