Well I think your USB stick is not recognized well and hence you netPI isn't updated. From what you are describing everything is fine so far.
You can connect a HDMI cable to netPI's HDMI port an connect a monitor and watch ... there you are able to see if the device makes a normal boot and starts the netPI OS or if it says it is updating the OS while the USB stick is inserted. If the HDMI output says that the netPI is booting normal, the Raspberry Pi CPU was not able to detect the USB stick. The Raspberry CPU is very sensitive with USB sticks an their used USB contoller. It needs a USB controller chip that boot the USB stick in some milliseonds to get recognized.
Maybe you have a second USB stick.
