Yeah. Put Windows 7 DVD in drive. Reboot computer. It should load up the Windows 7 installation. Then you can just erase Windows 8 and install Windows 7 from there.

That's what I've been doing for all my personal and work clients since computers started shipping with Windows 8.
 
As much as I hate the windows 8 interface, underneath is actually a pretty decent OS.
I installed "start menu 8" and it behaves pretty much like windows 7, only better

Although this post isn't rally going to help with the OP at all sorry. :)
