Windows 7 Install

[Graham Dixon]

Hi,
I have an HP 15-R005TU laptop, it uses windows 8.1. I want to use Windows 7. I have a Windows 7 install DVD
but when I try to install, after loading temporary file it stops with an error code 0xE0000100. I am also unable to format the hard drive,

Any ideas out there?

You should just create a partition for 7 or install it in a Vm, no need to wipe out 8.1
