instead of using your route of F10 to redo the partition, I went into the Advanced drive options and deleted every drive, partition, etc. I was able to install 7, but went about it a slightly different way. I backed up Win 8.1 to a USB Drive tonight and installed 7 Home Premium 圆4, because I own a large volume of software that wasn't working with 8.1.
After you have cleaned up the drives you can partition them as you please. Type “SELECT DISK 1” to select the second hard driveġ6. YOU NEED TO REPEAT THE OPERATION FOR ALL HARD DRIVES INSTALLED OR WIN 7 FREAKS OUT AND WON”T INSTALL.ġ4. Converting to MBR is really important especially if you’ll need to activate windows later (activators won’t work if you don’t do that).ġ1. This will clean up the drive of all partitions including the Recovery partition. Hit cancel and go back in the Windows installer (or restart the PC and start anew) to the screen where you get to hit the “Install Now” in the middle of the screen.ġ0. If you try to install it the regular way, upon selecting a partition you’ll get the following message: “Windows cannot be installed to this disk the selected disk is of the GPT partition style.”ģ. You might think this is trivial but with the new UEFI bioses it is not as easy as it used to be.Ģ. This way you’ll free up 20GB there and it is worth it anyway.ġ. For some reason ASUS put the recovery on the SSD drive where every GB counts. That’s what I did to my very first generation RoG (was it the G63?) that I bought back in 2010 and still runs perfectly with no need to format for 4 years and no firewalls/antivirus crap on it.įirst of all installing a clean Win 7 will most likely wipe everything INCLUDING THE RECOVERY PARTITION and I will explain why later, so I recommend using the ASUS Backtracker to get your recovery partition off your hard drive and onto a USB drive. I am a fan of clean installs – new installation on a freshly formatted PC.
I've been playing a lot of games and doing video editing on win 7.
The good news is that you can make it all work just perfectly fine. Just bought the midrange G750JS on April 7th and had some pretty difficult 10 hours installing Win 7 and having all drivers to work and all so wanted to share it with you guys.
