win 7 bootable flash problem

[mitster]

hey guys, i tried to create a bootable flash install of windows seven on a reformated hard drive, the flash drive (16gb) was brand new and formated to ntfs, i followed the instructions from this link:

http://maketecheasier.com/boot-and-install-windows-7-from-usb-flash-drive/2009/01/23

tried to boot from it and got the message "operating system missing", any ideas why this might not have worked? thanks.
