i have a Asus G75VW-RH71, and i try to install windows 7, i think that it was the same procedure of my other notebooks, and because of that i deleted only de partition where windows 8 was located.

but when i saw correctly threre was a message in the bottom that windows 7 cant install in this hardrive because of some gpt partition or something.

now the problem is that i cant recover my windows 8 OEM because i deleted them. In the asus package theres no windows 8 recovery dvd, and i dont know what to do, i try to install other windows 8 but pop ups a message that says "The product key entered does not match any of the windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key.

what i must do?, i must buy a legal copy of windows 8 x64 oem?.

(for any doubts, there is no way i can acces to windows beacause i format the partition).

please press F8 to recover OS, if not help, i think you are delete the recover partition, you can buy the asus recover CD from asus estore, or send to service center to install back.

thanks to all of you, finally i maneged to install a clean windows 8, i use a original windows 8 64 OEM version, and use a program called Gparted, and i format the partition in NTFS. and after all of this i managed to isntall windows 8.

this looks like a joke but now i have other problem with the notebook, the screen now have tiny vertical lines that are visible when you are mid range, this happen after i was installing speedfan, when installing this program suddenly the screen flashs and there was this vertical lines problem. also this lines have some vibrations that when i drag some folder side to side, i can see strange flicker in this vertical lines.

i try to conect de notebook on the TV via HDMI, and this vertical lines doesnt appear.
