FORMATTING HP 650 PROBLEM

HP 650 do come  with  windows 8. So, when you want to change to lower windows like windows 7, the laptop wont recognize your bootable disc. this thing happened to me. and i have found the solution.
-- this issue has nothing to do with Windows 8;  or most likely not even the CD -- it is due to the UEFI setting of the system.  
SOLUTION.
1. Power on your laptop, press the button that will take you to the bios settings. so change the boot option  to use legacy boot options ..
2. Also, dissable secure boot option.  then the CD will boot just fine.

***Be mindful to backup your files prior to trying this. Use an external case and save everything into another hard drive**  Because,  windows will not save 
your files for you.








There are different metods use here.
Method #1:
1. Boot up to installation DVD/CD.
2. Click install but don't follow through.
3. Press SHIFT-F10 to bring up console.
4. Type "diskpart"
5. Once inside diskpart type:
  -> list disk (find the one you want to convert)
  -> select disk 0 (select the one you want from the list)
  -> convert mbr (should take a second or two)
  -> quit
6. Continue with install

Method #2:

2. Click install but don't follow through.
