Hi all,
I don't know too much about hardware nor software of a pc and just learning stuff as I go. Any help is appreciated thanks.
Here is my issue:
i just got a new hdd (because my old one stopped working, malware virus something idk)
but when i try installing win7 on the new hdd, it gives me an error saying that i cannot install win7 on a gpt partition type hdd.
now this is all happening on the os installation screen (where it asks to choose a partition to install win7 on)
i tried formatting the new hdd while in the same menu, and when i click on "Format" nothing happens, cursor dissapears for about a second and then thats it...
i just recently purchased everything new from cpu to mobo to ram to case to heatsink all of it, been over 2 months to put this pc together so im a bit stressed.
if anyone could please guide me into installing win7 on my hdd, would be thankful.
thanks.
