BoDEAN Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Im reformatting and reinstalling Windows 8. I've always installed it on my Samsung 830 128gb SSD When I boot up Windows 8, and try to select where to install windows, My SSD is broken up into Drive 0 Partition 1: System Reserved 350MB/90.MB free (Type Secondary) Drive 0 Partition 2: 107GB/107GB Free (Type Primary) Drive 0 Unallocated Space 11.9GB/11.9GB (No Type) I am not sure if this layout is right. I've always had my Windows 8 On Drive 0 Partition 2. However now it says Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 2.. The select disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks. How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Mist Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Delete all the partitions on your ssd using the windows 8 disc, backing any important info of course, then install windows 8 onto the ssd, it will re-create all the partitions it needs for you.As a precaution, I always disconnect any other ssd/hdd in my system when installing a new o/s lars77 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
