How do I change a GPT partition to an MBR partition?
"Because the laptop hard disk partition table is GPT and you can't install the boot system. The need to convert to an MBR partition can also be successfully installed. “
The problem is, the partition tool cannot convert the MBR, here is a small part of the reason, that is, the partition tool can not be stored in the case of data to convert the partition table, if the hard disk to remove all partitions, the conversion of MBR that is good solution.
Small series here will own experience to share to everyone, ash often simple oh.
Tools/Materials
Partitioning tool (required to run under PE system)
DVD-PE system boot disk, or USB-PE system boot disk (old Peaches boot disk)
