Your laptop should be booting from the hard drive and not a cd drive. Is there a cd in the disc drive? Are you trying to install windows?
Can you enter BIOS and make sure the boot order is set to hard drive first?

It won't recognize the hard drives, it shows me only the USB that has a windows 7 OS installation,I can't even get to "starting windows" screen,immediately when the PC starts it says that error and i can go to the BIOS settings from there..

Did you already install windows? If so remove the usb stick and see if it boots off the hard drive.
To access the BIOS you usually press F2 or ESC or DEL immediately after you turn power on. Not sure what it is exactly for your laptop.

Is this a fresh install of windows? Did windows 7 complete the install? I gather you installed it from a USB drive?
If installed look in your BIOS to see that hard drive is detected and the boot order is set to hard drive first.

Okay, so your trying to install windows 7, correct? What operating system did this laptop come with originally?
What is the model number of your samsung laptop?

If it came with windows 8 or newer, then it is a UEFI Bios and you will have to disable secure boot in the bios and set it to legacy boot or "other OS" to install win 7.

Is there even win 7 drivers available for your laptop from samsung?

I don't know exactly what is the model of the laptop but under the laptop there is a code of Windows 7 Home Premium
I guess it's not from the latest series of samsung laptops
