I should also add that if your hard drive is more than 2tb you will
want to keep gpt I think windows 7 does support this now if you have
a full sp1 version at least mine does.

Danielle,
It is possible to install Windows 7 on a machine that came with 8
pre-installed. I had this very thing happen to me. I found that because of
the changes Microsoft had made to the partition table, it basically locked
you out of doing it the normal way, formatting the drive and simply
installing your version of Windows. Apparently that had something to do
with the new GPT partition table layout. So this is what you do: Download
Ubuntu Linux:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Simply locate the "download" button and proceed normally. Then, burn the
downloaded ISO image to a CD/DVD. Restart your computer and boot from the
disc. Load Orca screen reader at startup. Once Ubuntu and Orca are
running, run the partition editor. Select your partition that currently
holds Windows. Choose to make it free space, no formatting. This zeros
out the partition. Once completed, you may proceed to install Windows 7
normally. If you need any help with the above, feel free to contact me
directly.
