hey not, otherwise there would be no problems, I can not restore. ====>
- Language choice
- Choice restoration windows
- Answer: are you sure you want to start restoring ...etc
a DOS window illuminates (x/windows/system32/diskpart
it disappears and gives way to a completely white screen with red letters written in ERROR.
in the blue banner of the screen indicating it there
[diskpart / sx: \ tools \ formatScript172ce.txt] meet error.
In that case, you should be able to use this below to do a clean install with.

there is a small mistake in title
>>> Maybe nonpasaran means it should technically be "How to Convert a GPT disk to an MBR disk." English grammar rule is that if the letter sounds like it begins with a vowel (M sounds like "em") then it is preceded by "an" rather than "a" even though the M stands for Master. Master would be preceded by an "a". Same with referring to a Registered Nurse as an R.N. (R sounds like "ahr".)
But since this is not a forum on English, most people wouldn't notice the difference ("Maybe I'm just blind this morning, but could you point out the mistake? I do not see one.")
Thanks so much! I have been searching for this information because when I tried to upgrade my old laptop from Linux to Vista (was originally running WinXP with no recovery disk provided so I purchased a product key & borrowed a friend's genuine Vista install disk), I had to use an external hard drive because Zorin OS (Linux) screwed up my computer's HDD - changed it from NTFS to something else. And Zorin stopped working too. And I consider myself a computer whiz, but the one thing I can't do is tinker with the actual laptop - I would probably wreck it more if I tried to re-format the HDD. But when I selected the external hard drive during Vista setup, I found out that it was using a GPT partition scheme (I think that's what the setup DVD called it), and I was instructed to find one that was using MBR.
So this guide came in handy. Now I can put Vista on my external hard drive! Thank you!!!!!!! This guide saved me so much time! I can now continue my installation of Vista!

Hi Brink
Just a word in thanks and appreciation of this tutorial. I recently upgraded my grandson's desktop, motherboard was my first UEFI BIOS. Managed to make a mess of the first Hdd, which was the one from his original machine. Fitted a new Hdd using the parent Tutorial to this one, then followed this Tutorial here and saved the messed-up Hdd.
Grateful thanks, you saved me a 1TB drive for my next build!
EDIT:
I don't use this great Forum to learn grammar, I use it to obtain help with computing.
A gpt disk configured only as a data disk must be necessarily the ESP and MSR partitions too?
Hello Lucbm, and welcome to Seven Forums.
If you were going to install Windows 7 with GPT and UEFI, then Windows 7 will automatically create the needed 100MB EFI System partition (ESP) and 128MB Microsoft Reserved partition (MSR) on the Windows disk.
A separate data disk can be formatted with GPT if you like, but it will not have a ESP or MSR partition. You would only really need a GPT data disk if you plan on having partitions larger than 2 TB in size, but you could use MBR or GPT if you like for it.
Hope this helps, :)
