I just built my first computer, everything works fine, I downloaded an iso and boot from the flash drive as the NZXT H440 has no place for an optical drive. The problem I have is that when I boot Windows 7, It wants me to select drivers, Then it makes an error message saying no drivers found. My mobo is an MSI 970 gaming series mobo, WD Black 1TB. (In the BIOS it recognizes my HDD)

I've had issues where the windows installer doesn't like Flash Drives, it might help to run it from a DVD if you got an optical drive. If you want to try the ISO from a USB, I'd recommend using RUFUS to make it bootable.

Just use the Microsoft tool that I linked, that is what it is for and it's free. Rufus is fine, but not as user friendly.

You cannot simply drag the ISO onto the USB and do an install, the USB must be bootable, and either of the mentioned tools will make it work properly.
