i had a similar issue

heres what i had to do to resolve them

first i had to change bios settings to legacy support

then i had to select usb and boot from it

it would give error at windows 7 installation point

the solution to that was to cancel and get back to install now point and change the usb to a different port and then it would proceed.

thereafter it wouldnt allow to install on any of the partitions because it was gpt, so had to format all partitions, and then it allowed me to proceed with windows 7 installation.
