boot - How do I install Windows 7 32-bit on a UEFI-based system?

I own Acer M5 recently and it comes with 64-bit Windows 8. I need it to run Windows 7 x86. I changed the BIOS setting to boot under Legacy BOOT instead of UEFI mode.


I created my bootable USB using UltraISO. But when I select a partition it said "windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style".


A quick google search yeidls http://forum.acronis.com/forum/40223 and it seems like we can't run 32-bit. If I delete every partition will it work?
Any alternative?


Thanks.
