Windows 7 installation help

[4ks_]

So I'm following this guide (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/ss/windows-7-clean-install-part-2.htm#step1). I got to that particular step, but after restarting it just goes back to going through the process of accepting terms, installing on a drive, etc.

 

Then I was told from a tech friend that I should remove the USB when the computer was restarting, but now the monitor isn't getting any video from neither the video card or motherboard.

 

Here is my current part list:

Not on there includes a 500gb Western Digital Caviar Blue and an optical drive both salvaged from an old computer.

 

Monitor is an HP w1907.

Windows version I'm installing is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

When I'm installing an OS, I tend to leave the media connected to the PC, whether it's a USB drive or optical drive until I know the OS is functional. Is your system set to boot off of the hard drive?

You sir, Had a friend that is now not a friend

Indeed. Unwise to do that.

you do the first boot with the usb...then when the pc reboots..you change the boot back to the hdd as the first

My dad was watching me install windows and it was rebooting and he almost pulled the USB out, I freaking flipped out for like 15 minutes

Alright, noted.

Alright, so I was able to fix the output problem.

 

After that, I proceeded to go into to bios to boot of the USB and go through the initial process.

When it prompted to restart, I immediately went back into the bios to boot from the HDD.

Now it seems to be going back on track.

Everything's good so far then?
