So my old HDD stoped working and I bought new one . I connected it and try to boot (install) system from USB ( i made USB bootable )(win 7 in this case i tried 8.1 too) and set 1st boot device to USB , it automaticly restarted and after i see logo of motherboard i get message "invalid partition table ".
I looked on forums but all of them have just fixes when there is a Operative System on HDD , in my case I don't have one .
Any sugestions

Have a nice day :D

Please edit your profile with ALL your hardware specs.

Roy and Mike got to the point. If your computer is set to boot only as UEFI and your USB installation disk isn't UEFI compatible or not booted on UEFI mode (F? boot menu) you receive the "invalid partition table" message.
- How did you create the boot able USB?

first, you can try rebuilding MBR for the disk in question. In many cases, the invalid partition table issue is caused by an corrupt MBR (Master Boot Record). Rebuilding MBR can be done in Command Prompt (boot computer using an Installation CD and locate the Command Prompt; then enter command /FixMbr and press Enter).003.pnghow-to-fix-invalid-partition-table-099.png
If your computer contains more than one local disks or external disk, many times, the invalid partition table is likely to happen due to incorrect boot order. On such occasion, you should restart your PC and enter Boot Menu where you can set disk boot order. Make sure your computer is booted from correct disk, save changes and restart computer.
