Hi Elda,
You are right! It really seems that the PC is still trying to boot from the HDD. What you need to do is open the BIOS menu and check the booting options. You should place the USB port as the primary booting options and putting the HDD behind it. This way the PC will try to boot firstly from the USB.
If you have done this and the PC is still unable to boot from the USB, disconnect the HDD and try to boot from the USB. Does the installation begin? If not, there may be a problem with the USB and you may need to create the bootable drive once again.
Hope this helps
