Set up the boot order in reverse.
You want to boot 1 from the windows dvd, 2 from the HDD.

Can you confirm Windows 7 install source? Is it a Retail DVD, homemade DVD, USB drive?

Can you confirm optical drive is recognized in BIOS?

Please give us your motherboard model.

When you first turn on computer, you can enter BIOS by pushing <F2> or <Del> key. Inside the BIOS, there should be a tab or section for "drives", "storage", or something of that sort. For each SATA connection on your motherboard, you should see what is connected to it, including your hard drive and your optical drive- others may show as "Empty". If you can see your optical drive model on the SATA connection list, then the BIOS has recognized the drive.

It should also list the control mode as either IDE or AHCI. If AHCI is not working, you might try IDE for the optical drive.

In my bios, there is no storage or drives, there is just a main, of tweaked, advanced, tool ,h/w monitor, boot, security and exit I looked trough all of them and none of them contains such a thing, besides I think it registers the optical drive since it opens

1. Press <F2> or <Del> to enter UEFI.
2. Set AHCI Mode in UEFI Setup Utility > Advanced > Storage Configuration > SATA Mode.
3. Choose the item “UEFI:xxx“ to boot in UEFI Setup Utility > Boot > Boot Option #1.
(“xxx” is the device which contains your Windows installation files. Normally it is
an optical drive.) You can also press <F11> to launch boot menu at system POST
and choose the item “UEFI:xxx“ to boot.

I made sure all my drives, are registered and by default, it's set to AHCI, I set the sata mode to IDE but I dunno step 3 I cannot find uefixxx there is only optical drive and hdd

Try to clear your BIOS NVRAM.
