Im attempting to install win7 on my win8 pc. I start to format the hard drive via the windows setting and after it is "finished" it says there was a problem resetting your pc. Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can continue to installing win7?

Best clean install.
Boot from your Installation disk, when you get to the screen 'Where do you want to install Windows' choose 'Drive options (Advanced)', select each partition in turn and delete them, so you end up with only Unallocated Space. Continue to install Windows on this space without formatting or creating any partitions, this will ensure a 'clean' install and allow Windows to create a System Reserved Partition. (100Mb)
