    Hello guys,
    It seems that the only way to boot is the UEFI. If i change that to Legacy i have the same and the same msg (no bootable device) even if i have enable the F12 menu.
    So what i have tried this time was i had the UEFI enable and just the secure boot disable,i logged on in to windows, i run the install from the cd end when the system asked me where to install the fresh copy of windows i run the command promt, as administrator, and the command clean all. NOTHING AT ALL! I have no restrictions, not the right to do that! And who has???!
    Please help me, i need to do just a simple format and downgrade to windows 7,why is so hard???
    My laptop is Acer Aspire v3 -772G
    Base work to do
    UEFI/BIOS firmware.
    1) DISABLE Secure Boot.
    2) Set OS boot to LEGACY.
    3) ENABLE the F12 One Time Boot Menu.

    From Windows 7x64 DVD.
    4) Boot Windows 7 x64 DVD from the F12 One Time Boot Menu in Legacy mode.
    5) DELETE all partitions.
    6) INSTALL Windows 7 x64 in Legacy mode.

    For more details of the above read the post by WHS, gregrocker & myself above.
