Do you have multiple drives or partitions?

Yea it is a completely new HDD. I have tried making partitions and nothing. Also what is the proper boot device? The usb?

The USB if that's where your Windows installation media is. Have you looked up the error code and see what they mean?

Yea its an error with windows 10 transferring data to my hdd. When I try to set up the partition with the command prompt I got errors saying there were issues with the I/O device.

Yes. Select the USB manually from the BIOS. Then try booting up and see if it boots from the USB.
