How to remove a partial install ?

Hi all,

I bought a new laptop which came with W8 pre-installed. The standard version - not the PRO. Not downgradable.

I bought a Windows 7 CD and tried to install it, but the installation failed. Frozen screen - don't ask me the details: I am useless.

Now when I power up the laptop, just after the boot begins, I get a screen asking me to chose between "Setup" and Windows 8, with "Setup" being highlighted and which launches automatically if I don't manually change to Windows 8, which systematically leads to the frozen screen and I have to power off manually.
If I choose Windows 8, then it finishe3s the boot and launches normally.

Since I have discovered that Start8 works for me, I would like to keep Windows 8, but get rid of the partial W7 installation and the boot problem it causes. Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks a lot.
