Basicallly what the title says, going to make this brief because already typed this once and was backspacing a word and it made me go to the previous page and lose everything.
So this computer I have posting about a lot lately is giving me even more fits and I am about to go bloody insane.
What I am trying to do: Install Windows 7 Pro x64 ISO I got from MSDN with a key
What is happening: The installer tells me it cant install to partitions that the INSTALLER created because "These partitions are of the GPT style.
What I've done:
Deleted the primary partitions, created new ones, then formatted them Result: Same problem
Removed disk and checked for errors with HDTune Result: Disk is flawless
Used the Virtual disk service on another PC and created two NTFS partitions. Result: Same problem
Tried a second time to format partitions with installer Result: Same problem... AGAIN
Anybody have any ideas? Should I just zero fill the drive and make it like brand new so any trace of a GPT table is gone? I dont even know how the GPT table is there in the first place unless EasyBCD did it a long time ago in another rig.
Note: Another issue i noticed is that the PC cannot boot Hirens Boot CD, I get something about No PXE Stack Not sure if it is a CPU issue or what
