"I have enabled the boot from CD/DVD function"
The optical drive must be set as the first boot device - - then save & exit BIOS Setup.

But don't bother, I just checked the HP website and they do not support Windows 7 on that model, in other words they don't have any Windows 7 drivers for it. You will be searching the net for months looking for drivers to make everything work.

Leave Windows 8 on it or you'll be sorry.

just out of curiosity - doesnt windows 8 use same drivers as windows 7? just like 7 use same as Vista
anyways if it cant have win7 then just personalize the 8.1 you can disable the boot to start menu and make it look almost completely like 7
