I just set up this new system using an Asus H310 M E2O board. When I inserted the Win 7 USB drive, it reported that the CD/DVD driver was missing. I already had the keyboard and mouse working after enabling the USB keyboard simulation option during setup. There should be a way to fix this issue. Since I used the same stick for installing Windows 7 on a previous Gigabyte board without any problems, both boards have two USB 2.0 and three ports each.

Consider using a CD. Windows 7 isn't compatible with any CPU that the board employs, or Microsoft's policies, so it's best to avoid it. Alternatively, run it in a virtual machine if absolutely necessary.
