Windows 7 install

[medeirosat]

Hello all, I've recently buyed an Asus x550 laptop, it came with a windows 8 installation but i dont like it. I want to do a windows 7 install, but for my surprise things have changed a bit since i buyed my last laptop. had to access bios from windows 8 :S and when i finaly managed to boot my windows 7 installation from usb it says i cant install in the gpt disk.
So i went to read a bit more and saw that the convencional MBR had changed to something else i'm still trying to understand.
Well, on to the question then, I opened the dsk management under windows 8 and saw i have nothing less then 5 partitions :S
part 1- 100MB - EFI ?
part 2 - 900MB - Sys Recovery
part 3 - ~186GB - OS
part 4 - ~260GB - Data
part 5 - ~20GB Sys Recovery

so, why the hell i have 2 recovery partitions? one with 20 GB ^.^

what i want to do is very simple, or at least it used to be... I want to leave the sysRecovery, the one with the full windows 8 recovery, and clean all others so I can make a:
- 150GB part to Win7 system and programs -
- 250GB for Data for win7
- the rest ~100GB for a linux install

if anyone have any insight on this would be truly gratefull. ty in advance

Just install a free start button program in win 8

Classic shell is the one Im using . You can make 8 look and behave pretty much exactly like 7

well i'd rather have the disk partitioned as I like, not the way asus and microsoft want, and sry, but you haven't answered to any of my questions...
