Hello,
did you start the Drive Setup from the boot USB. I would try to install the system on a hard drive and make it from there.
Drive Setup does not support drives attached to USB bus. Maybe the problem comes from there.

Here's a dumb question: Do you know for a fact that there's actually a working hard drive in there to install onto?
