    Let`s s start at the beginning.

    What are you trying to use to install windows ?

    And how did you set it up, if you created it ?

    From post #16 it sounds like you are trying to use a normal installer dvd or usb stick to install windows onto a UEFI motherboard bios and a GPT partition styled hard drive or ssd. You can`t do that.
