That's what I got when I tried to reply to some txt a friend sent me over imessage....

and after a long tiresome search -that got me nowhere actually- I remembered something that could fit the rule of the culprit :-)

It was the time and date ......it was set off by a couple of years :-)
and that was preventing my ipad from contacting apple's server correctly..

If you got that awful error message check your date and time!!

Installing Windows 7 from USB

just found the most simple way to make a bootable USB flash drive for windows installation..
I was facing errors like "Missing Operating System" ,etc..

The simple answer to usb booting is:

1. Extract windows installation files to usb root.

2. Make USB drive bootable by running this:
      BOOTSECT.EXE /nt60 X: /force /mbr
where x: is your usb flash drive.
