fat32, but when you dd the iso to the drive, I don't think the file system matters

Is that the third option? I saw three but am not at home to see if it is. I've been trying to do a fresh start since Recently I have been plauged by the BSOD hoping the memory crashes could be fixed that way. But I am beginning to think the MB which is a gigabyte ga z97 Sli is a piece of shit. Won't recognize a burned window disc and doesn't seem to recognize usb's either. This is the message I've been receiving when using WUDT to create a boot USB.

I also wonder if it's possible for my netgear network adapter to cause a BSOD

I just tried earlier using a Fat32 format USB to create a boot drive and got the error previously posted when copying over the win7 ISO which the error also appeared when using the NFTS format.

Could I possibly have a USB that is unable to perform as a boot drive?

Try Rufus. It also has a health check do 1 pass to make sure everything is OK. Also, no quick formatting.

what did you use to make it? it's harder on Windows, but I heard Rufus and Win32diskimager are good.
