Question by Bradley: How do a downgrade from windows 8 to windows 7 with a new hardrive installed?

I have a toshiba laptop which I bought with windows 8 installed. I don’t like windows 8 so I’m wanting to go back to windows 7. I have bought a new 1tb hardrive as I also wanted more space and installed it. When I go to install windows 7 ultimate or windows 7 home premium it says fail. When bottling from cd. But when I insert a windows 8 disco it will boot from it. Anyone know how to do this?
