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.
