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:

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
