I did i tried 30 videos and like 15 websites but i finally installed windows vista and I'm going to wait and upgrade to windows 8
 
What Mac are you trying to install W7 on?

Some macs (like my 2009 i7 iMac) require that you load a flash drive in a certain way and have that flash drive plugged in when booting to the Windows installer.

e.g,. see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
