Remove Mac OS X and install Windows?

Remove Mac OS X and install Windows?

Is there a way to completely remove Mac OS X from MacBook Pro and replace it with Windows 7? I’m not talking about Boot Camp, I’m talking about completely wiping disk of any files and partitioning it for Windows installation. Any BIOS, booting, compatibility problems? I know it’s rare to replace Mac OS X for Windows, but I have this one situation where this is needed so I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

"If you do a clean install and format your disk with a MBR, it should be possible to install without either OS X or Bootcamp. Also note, that you will need the windows drivers from the OS X discs.

I haven’t tried it, so I can’t assure that it works, but see for ex. [1] and [2], resp."

No, Macs don't use BIOS they use EFI. Because of that, you need to use OSX + Bootcamp to run Windows.
