Hello, i maked a bootable usb flash drive with windows7. I have 2 partitions ( Windows - C & Photos, Projects - D ). I didn t want to format the D partition, just C ( Windows ).
I started the installer from boot, and i formated just the C partition. When i m clicking "continue" i have this error: " Windows can t be installed on this disk. Gpt partition error". I seen some solutions, with cmd, but i don t want to format the D partition, i have important stuff there. Can you help me ? Thank you a lot !

When you begin to install Windows 7 on that partition, you have the option there to delete the volume or to format it. Have you used either of those? The partition just might be corrupt somehow and this should fix it.
