Now that I'm wondering if you're doing an installation or reinstallation—just a small difference. If you're setting up with a fresh W7 key, this tool works well or you can use Rufus (make sure the drive is bootable). The item you mentioned is meant for reinstalls, not initial setups. (Still, the drive needs to be bootable.) I've cleared that out—you'd likely try reformatting the drive using the disk manager, checking if a partition was accidentally created, which can be frustrating on USB drives. If it remains non-bootable, you'll probably need a different drive.
I believe the reinstallation is necessary since the desktop already has Windows 7 installed. I tried creating a partition but panicked when everything disappeared on my USB. After cleaning it, there’s exactly 8GB free. Does this mean I need a different USB drive?
I observed it finishes smoothly. The initial screen shows the standard Windows setup, after which it returns to the same typical phenomenon...
1. Get powerISO.
2. Create a bootable USB using powerISO.
3. Connect the USB and restart your system.
4. In BIOS, choose the device you wish to boot from by pressing f8 or f12 (this may differ based on your hardware).
5. Install Windows regularly; during setup you can erase, delete, or create partitions as needed.
6. Continue until you decide to format the USB drive, after which diskpart will be required.
