  • UEFI or BIOS? Windows 7 default is BIOS and if you want an UEFI install you have to make some modifications to make it UEFI boot. Otherwise it indicates you did not correctly make a bootable flash drive. And if a new computer with UEFI Secure boot you must have Secure boot off. – oldfred May 23 '16 at 13:02

  • Can you tell us your motherboard model (run in terminal: 'sudo dmidecode | less')? – Thanos Apostolou May 23 '16 at 13:40
  • If system is older and not UEFI, then you only can install in BIOS boot mode to MBR partitioned drive. NTFS partition must be primary and have boot flag for Windows to install to it. But you must have a valid Windows bootable BIOS flash drive. – oldfred May 23 '16 at 13:58

Since you have failed to provide the model, I can only give you loose guidelines.

A) Use the correct f1 key to enter the BIOS during startup and change the boot order,

OR

B) Use the correct f1 key to open the boot menu and select the Win 7 USB drive.

Also, make sure that you have Legacy boot enabled if this is a UEFI computer.
