It might help if you actually told us what happens when you try to install the operating systems without being extremely vague.
 
When i selected the new and only one partition, it says "windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error 0x80300024," its the same on other os(8,10)
 
Do you have more than 1 hard drive installed? If so, disconnect all except the one you are trying to install to before starting the installer.
 


No, i dont plugged in any devices except for usb, i use the usb to install windows since my laptop had no dvd/ cd rom
 
First, what is drive 0?

Second, have you tried going to drive options and deleting the partition on Disk 1 and selecting next?
 
Edit again - I am thinking that the msr partition on your flash drive might be causing the problem with the Windows 7 installer
