Fix for "windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." without converting and formatting hard disk
Hello Guys,,,
you faced "windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." this error when trying to install Windows??
You may have searched on google and may have found solution by completely formatting your hard disk in GPT to MBR format and in this process you will have to lose all your data or make Backup.
By the way GPT is newer standard and is considered better that MBR format.
I have a all better way to tell you about installing Windows when you face such error.
So let's begin
Requirements before you can begin :
1 - A working pc (you can us your ffriends or relatives pc)
2 - Pen Drive (4 GB minimum)
3 - Windows 7/8/10 ISO files (the one you want to install)
4 - A software Rufus. It's size is less than 1 MB. You can download it here http://rufus.akeo.ie/.
Now the process beging
1 ) insert you pendrive in working computer
2 ) open Rufus
3 ) in "device" select your pendrive (all data in pendrive will be removed !!)
4 ) in "partition sheme and target system type select "GPT partition scheme for UEFI"
5 ) tick "create bootable disk using" and select ISO image and click on CD sign in right side of it and locate the ISO file of required windows 7/8/10.
6 ) click start and wait to finish.
7 ) when completed eject the pendrive.
8 ) plug this pendrive in computer you want to format.
9 ) boot your computer with this pendrive and proceed to format your computer without getting any errors.
:)
hope this solves your problem.
