Win8 replacement Win7 installation of the selected disk in GPT partition format workaround

I was in a hole today, when I installed the WIN8 system to a colleague, half said it could not be installed on the GPT partition, the following is how to solve:

To convert a GPT disk to an MBR disk, install the system to the prompt you cannot install in that disk step, in the Select partition interface, press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command prompt

★ Empty the target disk and convert to MBR format

Clean-------------------------Erase the disk, which erases all data on the disk

Convert MBR------------------converting disk to GPT format

List partition-----------------list the partitions on the disk because we just converted to MBR format, so the partition is empty

PS: In fact, a DiskPart tool, can almost replace the other third-party disk tools, such as the famous Diskgenius, is unable to change the GPT format disk partition ID, but DiskPart can.

PS: When installing the MAC system, you need to change the partition ID.

PS: For detailed use of DiskPart, you can type help in DiskPart to view

Finish the above operation, go back to the installation interface, refresh, press the previous installation method to install the system directly.
