After I installed CloudReady Chromium OS on a laptop, it does not detect a bootable USB flash drive with Win7 in the BIOS.
I tried to rearrange it in different sockets, recorded it on different flash drives, but still does not see this flash drive. What should I do?

What type of BIOS?
If an ordinary BIOS, then it must know the bootloader address. The bootloader's executable bit is stored in the MBR. Therefore, the flash drive must be converted from GPT to MBR and created a bootable USB flash drive using Rufus (or MultiBoot USB or DAEMON Tools). After that, everything will be determined.
If UEFI BIOS (EFI loader) is used, then the flash drive must be in GPT and it is enough to copy files from the .iso OS image to it. The file system MUST be FAT32.
If all this does not help, then it's easier to take a DVD (or Blu-Ray) disk and upload the OS image to it. It will definitely work there.
