If you mount and look at the ESP, you should see a folder \EFI boot folder (folder may be hidden). If Windows is installing in UEFI mode, installation will create the EFI System Partition (ESP) as file system type Fat32, the Microsoft Reserve Partition (MSR) as RAW, and an OS / data partition using NTFS. The second partition is where \Windows is installed on another NTFS partition. The first partition being active and listed as ‘system partition’, file system type being NTFS with a hidden \boot folder. If you boot to legacy boot mode and go through installation you will typically have 2 partitions (as listed with diskpart.exe "list partition"). If CSM is enabled and loaded into memory, this can sometimes cause install media to default to Legacy MBR boot. It depends on the boot devices priority defaults in firmware. If I installed Windows 7 with CSM enabled, what will the partition table/disk configuration look like? Microsoft recommends you should use Config #2 Legacy MBR Boot mode should not be used. For more information, see this KB article: KB2920188. Microsoft has also backported TPM 2.0 support to Windows 7 for when it is installed in UEFI mode. If firmware defaults to UEFI boot mode leaving Int10 CSM enabled, then Win7 will install successfully in UEFI mode. You can boot Win7 in UEFI mode if a partial CSM is in place (enabled) providing Int10 support. Windows 7 has a dependency on Int10 support for basic display when the high-res graphics driver is not available (for example, Bugcheck, Sleep transitions, etc.), a dependency satisfied by the CSM. Windows 7 is not able to support Config #1. You will need to enable the CSM and set default to UEFI boot, falling back to legacy boot only if needed. If the light on the drive flashes and the DVD is then skipped, then there IS a problem with the DVD after all, perhaps it's just a little dusty (you could also test the drive with your Ubuntu installation disc).Specifically, for Windows 7 it is recommended to use Config #2. If none of that happens, the problem is DEFINITELY with the BIOS/UEFI settings and you should look for clues there. Then, you will be prompted to hit any key to boot from the DVD. Now, when you try to boot up, it should try to boot up from DVD (the drive's light should flash and you may be able to hear it whirring. Does that mean that at present you have just one blank drive on the computer?If so, you should set the boot order in the BIOS (or UEFI) to start with DVD, then move to HDD (perhaps even add USB in between to give you more time to figure out what it happening. It's clearly an issue of boot order.If I understand correctly, you have wiped the hard drive completely using GParted. First of all, I think we all understand that the DVD itself and the DVD drive working properly.
