I am a bit stuck. Friend detests windows 8 even after i enabled the start button for them. I figured id help them out by installing win7 on it for them....should be easy no? nope.
i deleted the OS partition and it now wont let me install my win7 32bit oem disk on it.
i get the cannot install on gpt error.
i read a few posts on this but non answer all my questions.
im looking for the quick way to get it back up and running.
I either want to get it back to running the stock win8 from the recovery partition...if its even possible at this point (auto repair fails..but i only deleted OS other partitions are intact)
Or i want to just continue getting win 7 32bit on the machine...i just fear i must delete the rest of the partitions and use a partitioning program. i am using the computer with bios set to legacy mode...just to see the dvd drive.
Any help is much appreciated
