I'm trying to put the RC of 7 onto a flash card/drive so it would boot up to install but everytime I do so, my computer keeps asking for a boot device (new hard drive, no OS on it, no optical drive in PC) even though the device is bootable (following steps from Max PC) and is set to from from USB/SD card first. What am I doing wrong and what program can I use to fix this problem?

The computer is a Eee Box B202

You might want to hit the right button to bring up the boot device selection screen, and actually select the flash drive.

The USB/SD boot was actually first in the system but I'll doublecheck

I had the same thing happen to me with a Windows 7 install, I had to hit F12 or whatever it is and tell it to boot the flash drive.
I'll give that a shot, Hopefully it works.

e: Nope but it did tell me that the hard drive was being recognized before the flash drive for non-boot situation. Stll refused to work

Should I just buy a external DVD-ROM drive or convert the iso to a .img?
