I'm trying to install a brand new windows 7 using Rufus on my old 1tb hdd but that message occurred. I thought that maybe it was the age of the hdd that was causing problems so I bought a new 500gb hdd seagate and the same message appeared. I tried optimize the hdd and making the USB read only but it still isn't working. The thing is, I have no problem installing windows 8.1 but I'm having GPU spikes when playing dota 2 and the cannot display this video mode message, so I thought I would try install windows 7.
