@EzyStvy, I'm pretty sure that I have the BIOS set right. Boot to removable device, legacy USB, and full (slow) boot. Are there some other settings that I need to look at? I am also plugging the USB into the ports next to the network card.
@MaxRat, Right off hand, I don't have access to a 64bit computer, but that is a good idea. I'll keep my eyes open for someone who has one.
@SpywareDr, The online help sends you to the MS store, where they tell you that you need the bootsect.exe for mounting 64bit os usb from a 32 bit machine.

WHEN CREATING A BOOTABLE USB DEVICE,I AM GETTING AN ERROR ABOUT BOOTSECT
To make the USB device bootable, you need to run a tool named bootsect.exe. In some cases, this tool needs to be downloaded from your Microsoft Store account. This may happen if you're trying to create a 64-bit bootable USB device from a 32-bit version of Windows. To download bootsect:
Login to your Microsoft Store account to view your purchase history
Look for your Windows 7 purchase.
Next to Windows 7, there is an "Additional download options" drop-down menu.
In the drop-down menu, select "32-bit ISO."
Right-click the link, and then save the bootsect.exe file to the location where you installed the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool (e.g. C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool).
Once the file has been saved, go back to the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool to create your bootable USB device.

Thanks for the responses!
I have also tried other USB boot software. ISO to USB, UBCD, Rufus, and UNetbootin.
BTW, if someone wanted to merge this thread with my other related thread, "
64 bit?", (same computer,) it's ok with me.
