Hello Darryl, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Could you give us some more details and screenshots of your situation and issue? Please also include a screenshot of your Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) window showing all of you HDD(s) layout.

Are you getting an error message? If so, what does it say?

Hi !!

I have an ssd ocz vertex 2 120GB which I used to my macbook. Now I want to use it to my pc. I tried to install windows 7 to this disk but it says that it is GPT disk. So I tried to convert it to MBR.

The first option does not work for me. I tried the second option.

I also have a problem with option two, when trying to delete the volumes. I can see two volumes in the disk I want to convert to MBR. One volume is 200MB and it says EFI, fat32. The other volume is 111GB and it is ntfs. I select the small volume (200MB) but when I try to delete it, cmd crashes and restarts...

Any help with that ?

Hello Bakchr, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You could run the "clean" command on the SSD to wipe it clean to be unallocated space, then be able to install Windows 7 on it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hey guys thanks! But I fixed the problem using my Xbox to configure and then using the computer to re-format.
