I'm in an endless loop here of my computer not being able to repair the error over and over again.
False alarm - error was because I changed ACHI to IDE while trying to Load WIndows 7 installation

Is this the automatic Startup Repair or did you boot the Repair CD as UEFI disk and accept a repair?
This is what Theog is trying to determine, if your PC in UEFI mode will boot the repair disk then it should boot the DVD. Have you tried burning another Win7 DVD from step 1 and 2 of Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
Are you close to deciding to wipe the HD to reinstall to an MBR disk in Legacy Mode? Don't forget you have the option. It's all in Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7 and hasn't failed yet.
How to do a Automatic Repair:
Automatic Repair - Run in Windows 8
Note: You may need to do startup repair 3 to 4 times.
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
Windows 7 will not install within Windows 8 - error 0x0
But Boot mode in BIOS is set to UEFI rather than Legacy - I'll make another video
Can't find an option to change it so - If you could point out something maybe when the video is uploaded. More of an insight of what BIOS features I have access to.
I'm seriously considering just buying another internal 2.5 inch SATA II HDD for Windows 7 but I don't know if there's any tracking software on my laptop would alert Acer and my Warranty or something - it could be a dumb thought but I'm not used to systems built by companies - I build myself.
Also, although I do have the W7 install DVD, I'm trying to use USB because I thought it said somewhere in one of the links shared that you should make a UEFI USB to boot W7 rather than use the DVD... or was it so you could do it in GPT? I don't know, but so far, both have resulted the same way.
