Just to verify, You set your DVD drive as the first boot device, Right?
should i install from win7 desktop, ?
No! A clean install is always done by booting.
i burnt win 8 iso files to dvd.
As data or image? Maybe you did it incorrectly. You should use imgburn (along with the write image file to disc option)
yes the first boot device is dvd,
i burnt iso file to dvd with power iso , i can see the files on desktop there is one called boot on the disk,
but when i restart laptop whith dvd it says press any key to boot with dvd, which i do
but it just shows win8 window in the middle of the screen,
i guess its not booting as it should.
The copy you used is untouched? Final version? What’s your PC specs?
Try re-burning with imgburn, Or using M$ USB tool to install it from a flash drive;
