the usb ports work because the keyboard is usb and the 2 pen drive work very well in windows.

Make sure you are using the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard.

Some other people report issues with booting form USB sticks too on 9xx series boards , it might be an issue wit the BIOS as well ,but not all USB sticks are booting some simply don t work.

not sure why you want to use ntfs on a usb flash drive, but here is an official Microsoft video on how to create a win7 usb install stick:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/installing-win7-using-a-usb-stick.aspx

When finished, install the usb in your 990x computer, turn on your machine and press F12 (or whatever key gives you a boot menu) and select the USB drive and it should install without a hitch.

Luck
