USB Flash ISO - if you downloaded the ISO file and you want to install Windows 7 using a flash drive:

To create a bootable DVD or USB flash drive, download the ISO file and then run the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. Once this is done, you can install Windows 7 directly from the Flash DRIVE or a DVD. If you have a 4 GB or more large USB key (or external hard drive), and the computer can boot from USB:
