When you tried installing from the usb drive did you follow one of the guides on how to do it? I don't think it's just a case of copying files across its it?

Googling seems to bring up a fair amount of people with the same problem.

A couple of threads that might help:

I had this problem with an earlier build of x64 W7.

Turns out it was a bad ISO download. Downloaded again and all was good.

i had this too, the interweb said it was a bad iso or to reburn the cd on a lower write speed. i tried this, different cd's my mates cd's which worked and i then just tried a different cdrom and it worked.

I had this with a very early build also.....along with a few other bugs.
