If you are trying to make a Windows Operating System boot independently from USB connected Hard Disk Drive, it's not possible at all.

Have a look at this first tutorial to make a bootable USB stick with the Windows 7 installation media, then you may care to have a look at the additional information listed below.

To start fresh with a clean installation or clean install with an upgrade version of Windows 7, it may be best to over-write the Master Boot Record of any possible corruption and then use the Windows installer to create and format the partition(s) for installation, have a look at the "#6 clean" option of Method One in this first tutorial linked below.

DISKPART : At PC Startup

If you want to completely wipe, over-write the entire Hard Disk Drive of any possible malware infection and / or to get the best possible space to do the install to or just for security purposes, have a look at these tutorials.
