It's probably an issue with UEFI -- are you doing a UEFI Windows 7 install like THIS?
I would check to see if you can get drivers for Windows 7 for this laptop first, but another approach is to clean the drive using diskpart and then install the standard way for 7.
You also might want to take a look at the MS Tool for USB installs HERE.
