Ok so I just got a new motherboard (B75M-D3H) and I had to install windows again. So I did that watched a tutorial on how to install etc etc. And I couldn't remember my password so stupid me I go and try to reinstall windows and I had to format the drive and I did. But now when I go to install it to that drive its says windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has a MBR partion table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disk. And it doesnt show up when I go diskpart. I need this to be fixed any help is appreciated thanks:)
 
Solution
MBR is associated with the old bios system instead of EFI.
So you will need to either reformat the whole harddrive as GPT disk or force windows into using the older bios mode. When you select install medium make sure you don't select the one with UEFI
