    This morning i got my m17x r4 shipped with a 256 M4 ssd
    I want to do a clean install on the ssd and use the hdd for storage.
    I inserted a win 8 dvd and when i press f12, there was no option to boot from the dvd.
    It show:

    Boot mode is set to : UEFI; Secure boot : on
    Uefi boot:
    Window boot manager ( the hdd partnumber name)
    Uefi onboard lan ipv4
    Other option:
    Diagnosistics
    Enter setup

    That's all it shows.
    Please help me what to do

    Thanks alot

    Does it show the option in the BIOS? Can you try changing the boot order there.?
