Cannot install El Capitan via USB Bootable Pendrive

Hi guys, I have a problem with my MacBook pro. Last time I reformatted the whole HDD partition with Windows 7 ( I've deleted original Apple partition and make it as 1 partition). Now the problem I faced is when I tried to reinstall OSX El Capitan ( by pressing Option key while booting up ) the mouse cursor was hanged and jumped to HDD to boot it up. The installer pendrive I made is using diskmaker x. It make me crazy because I have no ideas how to solved it. So if anyone having same problem like I faced and successfully solve it, please share it here.

Thank you and forgive me if my English is not good.

I'm sorry to say your system is too old to support El Capitan.

If you reference the EveryMac link you provided and look at the bottom under Pre-Installed MacOS you will also see the Maximum MacOS is Lion (10.7.5)

You will need to find a copy of Lion 10.7.5 to install on your MacBook Pro system. As for installing Windows 7 on this system you need the newer BootCamp but I don't think it's supported on Lion.

Maybe its time for a newer system (new or used).
