.iso isn't going to boot like that especially via USB unless it's a USB optical drive. :|

You'll have to make a bootable USB stick for installing Windows, Google it.

Or better than that, just use a CD/DVD drive for it to make life easier.

You mentioned a Windows 7 disc in the OP... you should be able to boot from the CD if no operating system is detected on the HDD.
