I have a PSU I salvaged from an old computer.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium for the past two days to no avail. I don't have an extra DVD drive nor do I plan on actually buying one to install into the system. I have successfully installed Windows XP via USB but whenever I try to install 7 via USB it says, "Setup couldn't create new system partition."
This is my first build and I'm not really sure where to go from here.
