Hi,

To install Windows 7 64bit on a drive with a guid partition table you need to do the following.

Shutdown the notebook.

Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Start-up Menu and then select the Bios Menu ( f10 ).

Under the System Configuration tab, expand the Boot Options Menu.

You need to set Secure Boot to Disabled and Legacy Devices to Enabled.

When done, press f10 and select to save the changes.

You may then have to enter a 4 digit pin displayed on the screen to confirm the setting changes - enter the code and hit enter.

Insert the Windows 7 installation disc and Shutdown the notebook.

Tap away at the esc key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Start-up Menu and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

Use the arrow keys to highlight the CDROM (uefi) option ( Note: you must choose the cdrom option that has the (uefi suffix ) and hit enter - if prompted to 'Press any key to continue....' - do so.

i done that and when i clicked to install Windows 7 it says that windows cannot be installed to this disk.The selected disk is of GPT partion style. what does that mean?

Hi,

It usually shows when you try to boot from the wrong option - ie you've selected cdrom instead of the cdrom (uefi)

Have you definetely chosen the boot option that has the (uefi) suffix?
