I am trying to install Windows 7 64-bit. My primary harddrive is an SSD. The Windows installer informed me that:
On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
So, after a lot of research, I was able to convert the SSD from MBR to GPT! :)
However, now I get the following message:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk, the selected disk is of the GPT partition style.
What went wrong? How can I install Windows 7 to my SSD?
3WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?! Also, can you please specify the motherboard in question? Probably this is a UEFI/BIOS setting (the installer acts differently depending on what mode it's in) that needs to be changed, but it's hard to say specifically how to approach it without knowing the hardware in question. – Shinrai – 2012-02-28T20:28:39.773
1I want to up vote this just for the lousy Microsoft mixed messages. He is yelling because he is totally frustrated at the inept, uninformative messages he is receiving from the Windows installer routine, which sucks by the way, Microsoft should include a crystal Ball with each copy of Windows, and I am a dyed in the wool Windows guy, but my God, sometimes I just want to SCREAM! when using Windows. – Moab – 2012-02-28T20:59:41.043
