You should have an option in your bios of your laptop called secure boot.
You must disable this first.

You next step it to look for the option of legacy usb devices.
Make sure this is enabled.

Next you want to set the usb pend drive ect as the first device in your boot order list of the bios.
Save all the changed settings before exiting your bios.

Now you must make sure that you format the drive, as windows 8 super seeds windows 7 so there for it will not allow you to install it while windows 8 exists on the working boot partition of the hard drive.

Once you have done this you should be able to install windows 7, and at a later date if you choose to have two os Windows 7 and Windows 8 a multi boot menu will be created.

I tried installing Win 8 on my Asus K55A laptop and then tried Ubuntu. It wouldn't let me install either. Unless I was doing something wrong, I assume that they locked the BIOS. If you don't like the "metro" screen, you can always switch to the classic desktop: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zxue/archive/2012/03/07/win8-howto-1-switch-between-metro-ui-and-desktop.aspx It is basically the same as Windows 7 in that mode.

To you or other people who might dont know yet.


when u tried to install win7 but u stuck in booting drivers.Here may be your solutions (read it carefully):

1.You can go to Bios settings ( shift click while clicking the shut down and on the laptop then as soon as the power turns on keep pressing the F2 button), it will bring you to Bios setup.
2.Now, navigate to advanced and look for USB3.0 support and u need to disabled it.
3.Go to Save & EXIT,down to 'Save Changes and exit' and press enter.
4.Insert the usb (with windows7 which is bootable) before you turn the power on.
5. Turn the power on but now u need to frequently press ESC button, it will bring bule box ( dont really remember)
6. Select your USB and press ENTER( not really sure too).
7. DONE!!! you may now finished. Go ahead and rock!!!
8. After u installed u may need to install service pack and drivers
