Is it really possible to clean install win7 with GPT on 160GB HD?
Hello everyone!
I have an old HPdc7100 CMT machine, and I have tried to clean install Win7 ult 32 bit on this old motherboard. My wish is that, if I could do it with GPT instead of MBR. With MBR, that is not a problem at all.
Now, I made the 160GB Hard Disc unformatted (with no partition, blank, unallocated from start to finish). I inserted the installation DVD. Once started, at some point I chose to run on DOS mode to do the commands such as:
diskpart
list disk
select disk <disk number:0 in this case>
clean
convert gpt
exit
and from here I continue the installation to the end. But, when I looked at the Partition Table with EASEUS, the Boot sector is "Basic MBR" (But not GPT). I kept on repeating this, but it ends with the same result. So my question is: Is it really possible to clean install Win7 with GPT on a 160GB HD (not large HD more than 2TB, but lesser as it is now on 160GB) on an old motherboard?
Thank you in advance for help.
