"Windows failed to start" error while installing from USB

I want to install Windows 7 from a USB drive. I used Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to move the files from the ISO file to the USB and after I insert the USB to the computer I get this message.

Windows Boot Manager

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.

Choose your language settings, and then click "Next."

Click "repair your computer."

File: \boot\bcd

Status: 0xc000000e

Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

In the boot setting I set it to use the USB before the hard drive.

Any idea why that happens?

Make sure you are running the Windows 7 USB installation from a USB 2.0 port.

If you try to use it from a 3.0 port similar problems to those you are experiencing may happen.

edit: usb 3.0 is usually identified by a blue-ish color.

While the linked site may or may not help resolve the issue, relevant information should be posted here (with the site linked as source). Superuser.com intends to be the last stop for a fix as opposed to a link to a possible fix. Also, this helps prevent link rot. – Jarmund – 2017-12-18T19:36:05.613
