Hey, I see the issue. You're using an Asus Z170-A motherboard and trying to install Windows 7 from a USB key without a DVD drive. The error message about the CD/DVD drive missing suggests you might need a bootable installation media. You could try creating a bootable USB using tools like Rufus or Windows Installer, or use a USB drive with a pre-installed Windows 7 ISO. Let me know if you need help with that!

get the iso and copy it onto a usb drive. use rufus to set the boot sequence so the usb starts first. adjust the bios settings to prioritize the usb during startup.

Reinstall the ISO file often. It seems to fail sometimes, but usually fixing the mount works. I also rely on a Windows USB installation tool.

Use a USB 2.0 connection or drive. Windows 7 likely doesn’t support USB 3.0.
