Hopefully you still have your HD installed into the system - Correct? If that is correct your HD is catching the reboot so the installer is not able to finish.

This is were the utility DiskMaker X is needed. In this case you are prepping up your SSD externally via a USB port using the universal SATA adapter cable.
