USB flash drives

It is necessary to reinstall Windows 7, memory on C 3 gigabytes. I made a bootable USB flash drive, I try to boot from it through the BIOS, the gray loadbar "Windows loading" passes, Windows branded wallpapers appear before the greeting and then everything .... Wallpaper and mouse pointer. No errors or dialog boxes.
I tried to make a flash drive from different images (from licensed and not so), through the program and manually - it does not help. What could be the reason?
FS flash drive NTFS, run as USB-HDD.
UPD: The problem was solved by sticking a flash drive into the rear port, initially stuck into the front one.

Have you tried just waiting a while at this point? I also encountered such a boot stopper. Randomly from 3 to 5 minutes, only the wallpaper with the mouse cursor can be displayed, then the installer window appears.

FAT32 is used for installation in UEFI mode (then GPT partitioning, etc. with all the consequences).
To install in normal mode (i.e. BIOS - naturally MBR) you can use NTFS.
PS I make a bootable USB flash drive as follows - I take an MSDN image with the required edition of Windows, create the necessary partitions via cmd, create a boot sector, write the image to a USB 2.0 flash drive.

The download has started, so just wait. Disable floppy drive in bios settings. Most often, because of it, or rather, its search by the installer, there is a delay during installation.
Well, Windows 7 needs NTFS
