I am trying to do a clean up and reformat of my laptop and when I come to the option " Where do you want to install windows", I get an error below saying:

Windows cannot be installed to this disk. (show details).

On clicking how details, it says: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks".

I don't know what all this means, please if someone could help since i have already formatted the disk partitions

Hello... there was a hardware/driver change after Windows 7... so a pre-install driver needs to be loaded... do you have media with your system? if you want too also RUN the drive in ACHI mode SATA "Hardware" Drivers? B /
