    Is Secure Boot still disabled?

    In HD/storage choices in BIOS, is there another non-UEFI HD choice to select, then can you add it to BIOS Boot order. Or is it already cued in BIOS Boot order with Secure Boot disabled and CSM set to Always.

    What other CSM menu choices are avaiable?

    Any other menu choices for Launch CSM?

    Have you tried as suggested several days ago to Clean the HD to "convert MBR" then partition following step 2.2 in SSD - HDD Optimize for Windows Reinstallation to define an active partition which sometimes forces the installer to recognize it?

    I would continue to research how to get your mobo to allow normal MBR install in Legacy mode. Otherwise I'd reset to defaults and pursue the EFI install with theog and further research there.

    You'll need to set CSM to Never to again try booting UEFI disks even though it's never given you that option. Theog is trying to see if any EFI disk will boot.

    1) Bad disc burn, remake disc.

    2) uEFI/BIOS firmware not set to boot uEFI CD/DVD's.

    As the System Repair Disc is booting in uEFI mode,
    Your Windows 7 x64 DVD has no uEFI support.
