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?

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 https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1140518-cant-install-windows-8-to-ssd-help/#findComment-595564720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
