Hi:
If you are using a USB flash drive to install W7, you must boot it from one of the notebook's USB 2 ports.
It will not work from a USB 3 port because W7 does not have the required USB 3 drivers to proceed any further than that error.

You're very welcome.
See if running the diskpart utility>clean disk during the install works.
Watch this video. He does it on W10 but W7 works the same way.

Hi:
Watch this video...you will run the same diskpart command from the setup, but use a different command.
