    Hi,

    I cant install Win7 onto my new Z830.
    Want to have a new clean install.

    Tried different methods to copy the Win install on different USB pen drives (M$ tool, manual, WintoUSB)

    Problem is:
    1, USB is only recognized when in USB 3.0 port
    2, When in USB 2.0 PC is stuck at boot
    3, When using USB3.0 I get PXE: media test failure (this should be LAN?)

    Also tried different BIOS settings (v.1.4)
    - legacy on/off, USB HDD/FDD,...

    Please help me - whats wrong
    Dont have an USB CD/DVD-Drive

    3rd usb stick with "universal-usb-installer" on usb2.0 port did the trick

    during install asked for dvd-drivers --> unplug usb and plug into other usb port did the trick (found trick trough google)
