Ok the problem is you have USB set as your primary boot. You want your HDD to be the primary boot. Otherwise the USB will just keep boot looping like its doing. You need to start with the USB drive as a temp boot device, and then after reboot let the HDD continue the install.

Two options
1. Have HDD as the primary boot drive in BIOS for the entire install process. Find out how to boot from a different device than whats in the boot order. Usually called a boot menu or BBS. It'll generally be an F key, for instance on one of my Asrock motherboards its F11, Dells are usually F10. You'll have to check your Manual or bios controls for the exact key. When you find it, hit the key to bring it up boot listings, choose USB and then boot from that and start the install. Once it reboots, it'll boot from the HDD to complete the install.

2. If for some reason you can't find that Fkey to trigger the temp boot from USB, you can set USB to be the first device in the boot order. Then after it reboots, go immediately in to bios, change it so HDD is first boot device and then boot from there. That'll usually do the trick.
