    Help with Windows 7 32-bit install


    I am trying to install Windows 7 on a blank hard drive, I boot from the dvd but when I get to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen it gives me 3 options: Disk 0 partition 1, Disk 0 partition 2, and Disk 0 Unallocated space, However all 3 of the options say Windows cannot be install on this disk because it is of the GPT partition style.

    Any help???

    Hello Jordan, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you wanted to do a clean install, then you could click on the Drive options (advanced) link at that stage, and select each partition and click on Delete for each one. Afterwards, you should be able to install Windows 7 on the remaining single Disk 0.

    See the screenshot under step 7 and 8 in the tutorial below for more on this.

    Hope this helps,
