Hello and welcome to the forums,

I think I had a similar issue when I was building a PC for my Dad a while back.

I think you press F8 or something like that for a list of boot options right?
Then it gives you 2 choices UEFI and something else, I found one of the options showed the DVD drive in the list, the other option did not have it.

I am being a bit vague as it was a fair while ago since I did it.

What is the exact model of the motherboard?

Paul.

Thanks for your support,

Is this Samsung NoteBoot a new PC with Windows 8 Pre-installed?
If Yes, set BIOS to UEFI & CSM.



1) Downgrade to Windows 7.
Downgrade Windows 8 to Windows 7
Warning you must have the uEFI/BIOS firmware setting in Step Three set.


2) If Using a USB Pendrive on a PC with a uEFI BIOS.
USB Pendrive need to be formated to FAT32 as in
UEFI Bootable USB Flash Drive - Create in Windows
Take note of Step 11 for Windows 7.
Also you will need to use a USB 2.0 port, as there are no USB 3.0 drivers in Windows 7.

gelapir,

See if you can choose legacy boot, then after install go back to UEFI.

If install in Legacy mode, than reset the BIOS to UEFI Windows will not boot.

To recap: If this is a Win8 PC you must disable Secure Boot to install Win7.

Then follow the steps here to install to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) - Install Windows 7 with - Windows 7 Forums.

You should NOT enable CSM or Legacy BIOS unless you want to Bypass UEFI to Install WIn7 .]
