Can't Install windows on Macbook Pro Early 2011 with SSD upgrade

Dear all,

A few months ago I had an SSD upgrade and I purchased a Caddy and installed my old HDD on it, and I also changed my Battery because the old one only lasted for 15 inutes after 40 cycles :O


Anyways when I insert a windows 7 or 8 x64 DVD in my USB Samsung DVD Drive, My mac book detects Windows (with the windows 7 DVD) and Detects Windows and EFI Boot (with Windows 8), I have tried every option of those doesn't work.



With EFI it just boots Mac



With Windows it boots to a screen with one blinking cursor top left and then it ejects the DVD ROM and that it :s



I do not know what is wrong :/



P.S. when i installed the SSD I had windows on the old drive it didn't work after the upgrade (this is what made me link both incidents).

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Replaced main HDD with SSD 256
