Hello,

i found my previous laptop. I was gonna install new windows 10, but the drive was bitlocker encrypted. So i formatted the drive in Linux live cd GPart live. Formatted it to ntfs.

But i still cant install new OS. Its name is "basic partition 0", and i get error reason :GPT.

Do i need to make it MBR? Can I do that in my linux live cd?

Solution
I fixed it. I made a whole new partition table as MSDOS, everything got Unallocated, and then i just crrated a new partition at the beginning of windows installatiom :)

Haha, nice i found my own way to do it

Clean the drive before installing windows onto it.
Use diskpart clean (press F10 from windows installation environment and use diskpart command).
