That is for sure.

Pleased to advise that when Amazon was made aware of my spat with Samsung and was given all the details they have immediately offered to refund in full upon return of the laptop.Which shows you can purchase from them in full confidence that you are in safe hands and will receive a square...

Thank you for that very valuable information and will try to use it if possible and will advise the results when available..This having to boot from boot override every time is driving me up the wall

Thought I had mentioned that this computer was bought with Windows 8 installed and that I had it removed by PC World and Windows 7 installed from my installation disk so there is no possibility of restoring W8.What does surprise me is that I have seen no sign on any of the forums of anyone else...

I can assure everyone that everywhichway has been tried to reinstall Windows 7 without success.With regard to the suggestion of returning this machine to where I purchased it from I can only ask if you are serious as I very much doubt they would accept it after the original Windows 8 was removed...

This machine came with Windows 8 installed and there is noway I will revert back to that abominable system.What infuriates me is that Samsung says my machine is compatible for use with Windows7 and then cripples it with a bios update for W8.

Tried reinstalling Windows 7 and nearly lost the computer again but managed to scramble back.If the bios chip has been updated in favour of Windows 8 then it looks as if there is no alternative but to have this present chip replaced.

Windows 7 is working fine once I gain access to the computer,the problem is booting up.

Think there has been some misconception somewhere down the line but to clarify the situation is as follows:-Bought this machine new on 7th june with Windows 8 installed and as I think this system is an abomination I had the engineer at PC World remove Windows 8 completely and when I say...

Sorry for being so dim but do not quite understand what you are telling me to try with "Windows Boot Manager and HDD Drive".Could you please be more explicit with the instructions.

Just tried that but it makes no difference as to how I am having to boot up.

Pleased to advise the hard drive is o.k..The problem I have experienced and others as well has been caused by Samsung in their wisdom in issuing an update for the Bios system which improves those with Windows 8 installed but has caused problems for those who have downgraded to Windows 7.Until I...

The answer to your question as regards changing boot order is in the affirmative,amongst other things that have been tried including trying to use the installation disk again.With the indicator lights for both hdd and wireless staying out indicates to me that damage has occurred to the hard drive.

My Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit is a full installation disk bought from PC World acka 2010 and was installed previously on my old Toshiba laptop.After having it installed on Thursday 20th June at our local PC World it worked fine.On Saturday 22nd June I filled in one of Samsungs forms...

Alphanumeric is correct,I paid PC World to remove W8 and install W7 from my Microsoft Installation Disk I purchased in 2010 I think it was.Silly me laboured under the impression that when you bought something you owned it,ah well you live and learn.
