I wanted to re-install Windows 7 and created a bootable USB (using command prompt I restarted my PC and selected primary boot device as USB-HDD (my BIOS also gives options USB-ZIP USB-CDROM and USB-FDD) but it went straight to usual boot. That it to dual boot screen. I thought maybe I chose wrong boot device in BIOS I tired all other options with no luck. Finally I formatted the USB and used Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool to create a bootable USB. That have not fixed the issue.

I have one idea why I cant boot from flash. I have a dual boot (Win7/Ubuntu) on my machine. That could inter fear with PC`s booting process.

If you have any idea how to fix it or have meet similar problems please share your knowledge.

    Did you run the setup.exe that you get when you download that tool? It looks like you have to run that first to extract the boot.wim file properly to a formatted (FAT32) flash drive.
