Hello,
My disk drive isn't compatible with my new mobo, so i've decided to go the flash drive installation route. I had to install an iso from the interwebs to use in the windows usb/dvd tool they have to offer to make a bootable drive. when using the drive to boot windows, I immediately get stuck at the "windows is loading files..." screen. each time I try to boot, different progress is displayed per try, but no progress is made. I suspect several problems with the scenario, but need to reach out to more experienced people, for this is my 1st build. Bad iso, or bad ram. and regarding the iso, I try to use my OEM install disk to turn that into an iso, but each software I have tried does not recognize the disk. Your time is greatly appreciated, i've been at this for a week now, and frustration is pretty high
(Note: I am using an XP 32 bit os to do this process, because I hear this has an impact on the bootable drive, and I have tried switching the ram around in several slots of the mobo)
