It's booting into that because there is no OS for it to boot to. Use a different computer and burn a Windows disc and just pop it in.

You have to install an Operating System man.

In your BIOS as the splash screen comes up when it first loads it should say "press f8 to access boot menu" or "f12", press one of those keys. Then choose the option (usb for you) to load the drive with the OS. After that happens, follow the instructions.

Fairly certain, how do you have it connected? Internally or..? Do you have a camera you can take a picture of the screen with?

I have like a small drawer that i just need to put the hard drive and at the end it gets connected auto

Shut Down the PC, unplug the Hard Drive and Attach it again... You need to enter the systems BIOS in order to boot from a USB Drive... I get that problem sometimes with New Hard Drives, the SATA cable wasn't attached properly...

A picture of your setup would help wonders here.
