Maybe removing all other partitons in the setup of windows would be enought but the hdd still would be in "guid" partiton scheme afaik.

Also its recommended to have osx at least installed on an external drive for possible firmware updates :)

If you are Installing Windows 7 x64 You can keep GUID partition Table, although that is an experienced user kinda thing.

Some Mac's win7x64 might even do it automatically when formatting the entire system drive
