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?

Unless Ubuntu contains Gparted, (as I have not used Ubuntu for some time), you need this program.

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.
