I need help transferring the OS to a USB. So, I'm on the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool, but I need help finding my CD file. Coming from a Mac user.

 

So on the DVD RW Drive what do I access? There are 8 files currently on the disk. Boot, efi, sources. But, when I try to transfer the ISO onto the USB their in step one their is nothing I can click on.

 

Very confusing, I am very confused, but please help.

So you want to install Windows onto the USB so you can install it onto your computer? Or do you want to install your Windows onto the USB for use?

Cool! Does this guide help? You will need your ISO first and if you already had Windows before, only you can tell us which so you can get the correct download etc.

Sounds like you got it working though since it has the efi files etc. So you should be able to plug it in and install. :)
