I Have purchased acer aspire e1 510 model with preinstall linux.I want to install windows 7 or windows 8 in it.But in bios there is only UEFI option in boot mode.(no legecy mode).I can't boot fron dvd rom
You should be using UEFI these days. Find out if there is a BIOS update for your laptop and update it. Turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS. Then see if Windows 7/8 shows up in the BIOS boot menu. If not, maybe the new new BIOS has a legacy boot option. Also try making a USB flash drive with Windows 7 or 8 on it and see if it allows booting from that. Finally, if Linux (and the GRUB 2 loader) is still on there, you can hold down the left shift key during boot. Go into the GRUB console and chainload the Windows /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi or /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi. You can even do this from a Linux live DVD. I've done it before.
insert windows 8 64bit then it will show you in boot menu boot from dvd mode other wise it will show you only hdd, and network 4 & 6 i have loaded windows 8 64bit oem latest
