Vastor Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yesterday, I got my windows 8 BSoD on boot (reboot repeatedly) for "system thread exception not handled" so I can't do anything thus I installed ubuntu 12.04. still, I prefer windows for compatibilities sake... But now I want to replace the windows 8 with windows 7 64bit ultimate. So, how to remove the windows 8 from my laptop using ubuntu because I still can't access windows 8 directly(still BSoD) and install windows 7 then?

Alan2273 Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Unless Ubuntu contains Gparted, (as I have not used Ubuntu for some time), you need this program.http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=downloads#.UfAVakBp5As Just download and burn to a CD, or USB drive, then boot from it and you can get rid of Win 8. Do not forget that Windows C & D drives etc, will show up as sda, sdb etc. If you are unsure how to use this free program, the instructions are on their site.
