Unable to install Windows 7 due to Windows 10

[duvex]

I just formatted my HDD from Windows 10 so I can put Windows 7 on it. Although the drive is formatted, it stil somehow boots to the Windows 10 repair menu. Putting in the Windows 7 flashdrive doesn't do anything. It totally ignores it and goes straight to Windows 10 repair. Even setting the Flash Drive as number 1 boot device doesn't fix it. I've had problems with the HDD before, namely that the MBR was damaged and I had to fix it during Windows 10 installation process.

If you have an ntfs drive now, you need to be in csm to proceed. When you say "it doesn't detect the drive", are you referring to the hdd or the flash drive when you are in csm?

The Flash Drive.

It is most likely formatted wrong also. Follow the instructions above to recreate the flash media and try again. It's probably a UEFI enabled device, which your bios doesn't know how to handle.

You were right, the flash drive was formatted with GPT. I didn't even know that was possible. Now I can get to the Windows 7 setup. Thanks!
