Windows 8 issue

Hey guys, so I just got a new laptop which had windows 8 on and wanted to put windows 7 on. Tried booting from disk and USB without luck and it wouldn't pick the install up at all. So just tried removing the HD that came with it and put in my new SSD which I bought and I still can't get this laptop to boot. Its an Asus, should I be changing something in the bios other that boot ordeR?

Asus R9DDVJ 18.1 inch screen.

Its alright sorted. There was a stupid security feature in Bios stopping you installing windows onto it whilst its enabled. Cheers lads. pain in the ass that.

Why not return it to the eBay seller and leave them bad feedback?

Wasn't from Ebay. Sorted now.
