I appreciate the response. I have made UEFI bootable USB drives. I was just wondering why Microsoft was not able to. Just like the Repair CDs made with a UEFI system will not boot into UEFI.
But your directions, although accurate to a point, will not create a UEFI bootable device, at least not in Windows 7. The reason, is an additional "boot" folder is required in the EFI section which should contain a bootx64.efi file. Since the directory structure is not that way on the Windows 7 DVD, copying that structure will not produce the desired results.
The directory structure is present in the Windows 8 install DVD.
