Yes. If the flash drive installation pgm. was made from a DVD .ISO, it will only look for a DVD to bypass. It doesn't know it is on a flash drive. So when the installation pgm. finishes its first install phase and reboots, as soon as the screen goes dark and before the POST is complete, remove the flash drive. The computer should continue with the installation based on what it has loaded on the SSD.

Are you installing from a flash drive? The PC will try to continuously boot from that. After the first reboot screen, when the screen goes black, remove the flash drive. Reboot again if necessary.
Here is a good guide to follow for installing Win7 to a SSD, It will help you avoid pitfalls, save space on the drive, and help it keep from writing itself to an early death: http://www.overclock.net/t/1156654/seans-windows-7-install-optimization-guide-for-ssds-hdds
