In the BIOS boot menu, press the '+' key to move the USB boot drive to the top position. I think this is something to do with the USB boot drive not being ready for the BIOS, which boots very quickly. If it is not detected, you may need to boot one more time by powering the brix off then on.
In the BIOS boot menu, confirm the USB boot drive is detected.
Keep pressing the DEL key on the keyboard about twice a second until the BIOS screen appears. Connect the USB boot drive to a USB 2.0 port on the brix. STEP (3) INSTALLING WINDOWS 7 FROM THE USB BOOT DRIVE After Rufus has finished, disconnect the USB boot drive. Leave the disk label the same as the original ISO (or DVD). These should be the defaults after selecting the Windows 7 ISO. Select the option "create MBR for BIOS and UEFI computers" and also the NTFS file system. In Rufus, select the target USB drive and also the source Windows 7 ISO file. Press Alt-F to have it display all fixed USB drives. If no drives appear at this point, its because Rufus defaults to only displaying USB flash drives. Connect to the laptop a USB drive with at least 4GB free space that will be formatted (erased).

exe file, no install is needed, which is awesome.
Download and run Rufus - a utility to help you create a USB boot drive from an ISO. ImgBurn has a notoriously sneaky installer that will install "conduit" search malware and other crapware if you don't read the installer options properly, and deselect all options apart from the first one, which is ImgBurn itself. Leave the ISO filename the same as the disk label (default behaviour). Flash bios gigabyte software#
If you have only the DVD, as I did, you will need to rip it to an ISO file at this point, using the ImgBurn software for example.
Ensure you have a Windows 7 (64 bit) install disk ISO file. The following steps to be performed on a windows PC or Laptop.
STEP (2) PREPARING THE USB BOOT DRIVE FOR THE WINDOWS 7 INSTALLER
Switch off the Brix via the power button on the top. Note that the Brix requires the Windows 7 64-bit installer. Change the operating system option to Windows 7. Confirm that the RAM and SSD have been detected by the BIOS. Use Left/Right arrows to navigate between tabs. Keep pressing the Delete (DEL) key on the keyboard about twice per second until the BIOS screen appears. Turn on the Brix via the power button on the top. Connect a wired USB keyboard to the USB 2.0 port. Connect a monitor to either the HDMI or VGA port. Connect the power supply to the DC-in port. Screw the cage back onto the bottom panel. There's only one way it can be inserted, so you can't make a mistake. From the bottom panel, remove the 2.5" HD cage (mine had two screws, but its meant to have 4) and install the 2.5" SSD into the cage. Install the low power (1.3V) RAM into the single slot - need to insert it at an angle fist, then push it downwards until it clicks into place. Inside the unit, remove the tape holding down the SATA cable. Take off the bottom panel by unscrewing the 4 black screws. Flash bios gigabyte driver#
