Are you plugging the usb flash drive into a USB 3 port? Windows 7 doesn't support USB 3 without you installing a driver first. Try a USB 2 port.

+1 to what @MrDrWho13 said. I ran into this issue also, setting my ports to USB 2.0 in the BIOS fixed it.

So it recognises hard drives but not USB devices?

I dunno, I just know that when I try and install windows 7 and it asks me for drivers it does not detect any USB drives I plug in to install drivers, the only thing that appears is an x drive which is virtual I think

Hey I keep seeing this issue and I'm sorry but I don't know the solution. There are many threads on here with the same problems so maybe you can find the solution in one of those. Maybe there's a problem with the way you put the installer on the USB drive?

Personally I'd burn a DVD with the installer since that shouldn't have these issues.
