Hey everyone,

I've been having tons of trouble with this, I tried things like at the screen selection of which drive to install it on doing the commands

diskpart - select disk 0 - clean - convert gpt

Before, that did it for my W7 Home premium, but now with ultimate it just dosnt work.

Is it possible? I'm somehow doubting it. The system is 64bit too.

Thanks in advance for any help

You should try this method with Diskpart:

Type in the following command. Each one should be followed by enter of course.

Diskpart

Select disk 0

List partition

Select partition 3 (if it exists, if not 2, if not 1)

Delete partition

Select partition 2

Delete partition

Select partition 1

Delete partition

List partition (to make sure they are all gone)

Create partition primary

Exit

And then try to install again.
My specs surpass the recomondations if you're wondering, but they are

i7-3820 @ 4.5ghz OC
32gb of RAM
ASUS P9x79 motherboard

The HDD is 4TB

Installed from a USB, booted in UEFI from the bios
