I recently built my computer. Have an Asus M5A88-M with a 1TB SATA hard drive.
Using the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool, it created a flash drive that I can install Windows 7 from.
I tried to install Windows 7 but it gives me an error "Unable to create partition".
I searched online and there are many similar issues. Some say not to boot with a flash drive, but my Win7 setup is on a USB flash drive so that won't be useful.
Some say to change the boot ordering, I have already set the boot order to the 1TB drive first, but the problem still occurs.
The only way I know how to resolve this is to not boot from USB but use the DVD. But my computer doesn't have a DVD drive and I really do not want to buy one since I do not need one for general use.

Is there any way to fix this?
