Need help installing windows 7 on a preinstalled windows 8 laptop

[NotYourAverage]

I've just purchased a hp pavillion g6 it comes preinstalled with windows 8 but i absolutely hate it so i want to downgrade to windows 7 but keep getting a blue box popping up when i try to boot from my windows 7 disc saying "the selected boot device failed. Press <enter>to continue. My machine is x64 and so is my disc.

After doing a bit of research apparently hp have made it as hard as possible to install windows7 on their new machines. What should i do to get it installed?

Thanks!

First check for all the Windows 7 drivers for your hardware on the HP/Compaq web site.

You can follow this tutorial:
