Do Windows 7 install from scratch? From bios?

That should not demand any drivers whatsoever as long as your USB drive is bootable (You used proper software to put windows in it and just didn't copy pasted).

Also make sure first boot device is set to USB Drive.

The windows install is actually asking for USB 3.0 drivers, if you have USB 2.0 ports i highly suggest using them instead.
If you dont have USB 2.0 ports then you are some what limited as to what you can do, you would need to create a custom iso of windows 7 and manually imbed the USB 3.0 drivers into the iso.
