    What information have you provided about the options in "add new boot option"? Answer: none at all. So, how can we help you?

    I suggest you find some money and get a professional to do it for you. You are clearly not ready for self-build.

    i sent you this tutorial already via xfire, but you didnt read the part about the efi files:

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...e-windows.html

    Basically, microsoft screwed up their efi files on the win7 iso. Win8 has proper efi boot files, but win7 does not.

    Make sure to extract the files from install.wim using 7zip.
    "Does not work" is an error report for a bug between keyboard and chair.

    All hail Artie Effem

    That is must be the problem. When the installation of the USB isn't UEFI then it doesn't boot.
    Disable fast boot and enable CSM.

    Ah! That makes sense now. I was wondering why it wouldn't boot. Personally, I've never used the USB method, and when you burn the Win7 ISO to DVD, the boot options are there.

    I probably fucked up you guys, so I am sorry about that.
    I ran to the shop and bought some DVD's. And then I realized, that the file is not correctly downloaded (LOL).
    All files are damaged (bootmgr). The DVD's are not usefull now. I think it will work now with USB (if not I will use DVD).
    Thank you that you gave tips for me.
