    Install Win7 on ACER uefi machine fail


    Hello,
    must replace broken hardisk for my desktop Acer Aspire x3470.

    Change hardware, but i can't do fresh Windows 7 installation. In years lost original ACER restore disk.
    Disable secure boot from BIOS, try to install OS from USB using RUFUS->GPT for EUFI, without luck.

    Installation always stucks in DVD/USB initial boot sequence :


    now reading forum posts. Can anyone point me in right direction ?

    Thank you,
    m.

    You must give us ALL your hardware specs.
    If you have a UEFI BIOS and want to install as UEFI - GPT you must boot the installation disk as UEFI.
    - Detach ALL other disks (Very important).
    - Set your primary boot disk to HDD.
    - During POST, launch the Boot Menu.
    - There will be two options to boot the USB flash disk, Legacy and UEFI. Choose UEFI.
    - Follow the tutorial. Important to delete ALL HDD partitions and then create new.

    Go here to order the eRecovery media for your computer:

    https://us-store.acer.com/erecovery/rcd

    This will allow you to do a factory restore onto the new hard drive, which will bring your computer to out-of-the-box, new condition as far as the software is concerned.
