I tried installing Windows 7 on my new PC first of all then it gave me the 'a cd/did driver is missing' error and I tried to fix it, I couldn't fix it so I gave up and gave Windows 10 a shot, I downloaded the ISO, put it into a USB using Rufus/Windows 7 DVD/CD Download Tool then booted it up. Everything went fine then when it was at the 'copying Windows installation files' it said 'The usb is corrupt or missing' or something along those lines. I tried installing the ISO to the USB again but no luck. Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
