Installing Windows7 on an XP machine from usb stick

I've seen it quite a few times.

Yeah, I've seen him do similar things quite a few times as well. Like the time he tried to install Photoshop and a webcam on that George Foreman grill.
He just wouldn't have it that he needed CS2 minimum.

I've never seen an install fail like that because of a missing fecking driver. The kernel isn't dependant on them, so the install itself should surely complete. In fact, I'm not even convinced that he's trying to install Win7. Joe, does your computer have a couple of slots on the top of it? Big enough to take a slice of bread?

Very funny. Well either Microsoft are displaying an error that is complete bollocks or the problem is that there genuinely is missing drivers. Burnt toast aside, this is the issue. Just because you haven't seen it before, doesn't mean it can't happen.

Are you sure that the ISO is complete? Do you have the disc so that you could re-create the ISO image?

All this mention of ISO images......................

Joe - you have either burnt the ISO to a disc or else extracted the contents first haven't you?

How would he get part way through an installation without having done so?

Well he wouldn't. But having read some of this thread I wouldn't take anything for granted!
