I solved this problem.

 

This problem occur because expired windows 10 and it prevent to boot, repair, new install, etc.

So, i'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard Bootable CD to access my harddrive and wipe the partition.

Then i can install new windows perfectly.

Anyway, you are using flash drive or cd to install the windows 7 operating system. Please try another file ( i mean another iso file, you can download it or purchase the disk ). If it was the fault of the same file, you can solve it like this.
