You need to make bootable USB with OS ready to install from it. https://rufus.akeo.ie/ can help you make it from an .ISO of windows. If there is a choice of type of USB to boot from, choose USB-HDD type.

Te Rufus thing is to make a bootable USB with appropriate OS. If you are sure that USB is bootable with W7 on it, it should work but not as USB-Floppy but as USB-HDD if there is a choice in BIOS.
Once you boot from it and during the beginning of installation there is a menu from which you can choose what partition(s) to delete and on which to install windows. If you don't have any data partitions on that HDD you can delete all of them and than proceed to install windows on empty HDD.
