need help with hard drive

[SweMan574]

I'm installing Windows 10 but I cant do it on my drive. It says something with the partition type GPT. I've already formatted all the drives so I cant access cmd, how do I access cmd with no Windows? Or how do I convert a hard drive to be able to have Windows with no Windows?

On my Gigabyte motherboard, if you install windows on UEFI mode, the HDD gets formatted in GPT,
If you install windows on normal (NOT UEFI) mode, the HDD gets formatted as MBR
MBR has been the standard formatting method for years
GPT is a recent development which doesn't seem to have caught on very well

I recommend MBR

Well I cant install Windows on it whats the problem?

Are you installing with the BIOS in UEFI mode or normal mode.
I suggest you try one, then the other.
Read your motherboard manual to find out how
