Hi. Formatting the HDD is part of the whole as the Install tend to not find it prior to a full format. The other essential part is to modify the UEFI (BIOS) to accommodate Win 7 mode. The complete steps you are to take are outlined here. If all is done right, Win 7 should then install from either (CD or USB).
