So i had bought a laptop with Windows 8 Pre-installed.

HP Envy 6 1106TX, It doesn't have any CD/DVD Rom or anything. I'm using an external DVDRW

I made my recovery disks and want to do a clean install of Windows 7 on it.

To do this:

I disabled Secure Boot & Legacy something.

Then Set the Boot option to my Optical drive. Finally! the setup started, But as soon as i click on INSTALL NOW At first screen. It doesn't pick up my Optical Drive and says I've to Insert the disk, or choose my USB/CD Drive from the list (which is empty as it doesn't detects it)

So what am I doing wrong or what should I do in this situation?

2nd thing:

I tried installing a clean version of Windows 8. If i enable Secure boot & Legacy. The Optical drive doesn't show up in Boot options to select it as boot. But when i disable it, It detects the drive and the same after the INSTALL NOW screen on windows 8. It says there's no harddrive/optical drive both :/

What should i do :S?
