How to Get rid off Windows-8....????

hello guys,

i just brought a new Samsung notebook and it is already with windows-8.

and this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen......

i have windows-7 and VISTA operating system CD with me but this crap Windows-8 is not allowing me to install any of the systems.....

any help guys....?????

i just wanna get rid off this 8.....

there is no option to change boot device from HDD to CD/ROM...!!!!!

its not even allowing from .exe file....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

help me out guys.....

 

You should be able to change boot priority from your BIOS settings, which Windows should not affect. I'm wondering if you popped in your Windows 7 CD would it allow you to revert? Probably not I assume, but your main focus for fixing your problem would be in the BIOS to change the boot priority and then loading your Win7 disk.

 

HI,

Thanks for your response but there is no option to change from HDD to CD/ROM in BIOS setting.

in short i can not boot from CD/DVD.... :-(

any further help ?

 

Its impossible.
If your device connected properly, you can change boot option.
You must recheck your USB if you are using external DVD drive.

 

that's why m surprised....

i am not using external DVD drive....

in device manager CD/DVD drive is okay...but its not showing me in BIOS setting....!!!!!!!!!!

 

What is your laptop's exact model?

 

You should be able to see a boot option priority list in your BIOS, go in there and go through everything again.

 

Your not the only one with this issue, but one of the main reasons why i am not interested in buying any windows 8 machine, is because the bootloader is locked exclusively to windows 8

ive heard there is ways around it, but to be honest, i would return the hardware. just dont buy any hardware licensed for windows 8.

 

i think, you can't change it

 

i think i tried almost everything possible from a person with general knowledge about computers. now any special suggestion???

or i have to take this piece or crap to some computer freak dude.....!!!!!!!!!!

as i like this model i won't return it. i just want this windows-8 out of my life....!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This is the future anyway.. Personally I would keep windows 8 but make it work like windows 7.
In fact I haven't tried win8 yet, but I'd keep it.
Simply find a tutorial on how to make win8 work like win7 by not using the new interface with big squares.

 

try pressing f8 or f9 for the boot priority options.

 

all best thanks

 

I hate windows 8 it took all my favorites away now i don't know how to find anything just want to restore everything before windows 8 and go back to windows 7.

 

Can't you just back up your important files (if you have any there), then format it and install whatever OS you wish? Maybe flash the BIOS if needed?

I haven't tried W8 yet, but your post takes me even farther from that....

 

If you bought it with a laptop or PC and downgrade it to previous versions of Windows then your warranty may be effected.

 

It might not be possible to do what you wish to perform, custom sold laptop's are hard to reconfigure and once done it violates the warranty conditions. So be careful with you decision.

 

Why man? It's cool. Just it takes some time to cope up with the windows. It has interesting apps.

 

Yeah he is absolutely correct. Just format, if you like then install whatever you want windows, 7 or anything Good Luck

 

Make a pendrive bootable with the help of win2flash software and then boot your system form usb for this just plugin your pendrive and restart your system and keep pressing f8.
