I need to get rid of windows 8!!! I have 7 ready to load on to this computer, but I can't get it to boot to anything but the hard drive!
It has a boot option like I've never seen before, and I'm lost!--- help please.

try all the F# buttons, delete, and esc (individually) when the computer is first booting up. F2/F5/F8/del are the most likely ones.

There is often one key to press to enter the full bios settings and one that will just prompt you for device to boot from. trial and error
