I want to install Windows 7 from a USB drive. I used Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to move the files from the ISO file to the USB and after I insert the USB to the computer I get this message.
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
- Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
- Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."
- Click "repair your computer."
File: \boot\bcd
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
In the boot setting I set it to use the USB before the hard drive.
Any idea why that happens?

Make sure you are running the Windows 7 USB installation from a USB 2.0 port.
If you try to use it from a 3.0 port similar problems to those you are experiencing may happen.
edit: usb 3.0 is usually identified by a blue-ish color.
