Windows cannot install to this disk. Processing of selected disks with MBR partition table "

Installing Win7 or win8 often comes with this hint:Windows cannot install to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On an EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

A few days before the installation of the system, encountered a problem: the official download of the Windows 8 Pro Chinese version of the image, using UltraISO write to the USB flash drive, use a USB flash drive to install the system, when installed to select a disk where, click Step, unexpectedly appear the following prompt "Windows Unable to install to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On an EFI system, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

This occurs primarily because the USB flash drive is started by default with the EFI boot instead of the common MBR boot, so this behavior occurs. This is often the case in the original installation of 32-bit systems, and now a 64-bit system to change the process.

     Workaround: If the above problems occur, unplug the USB drive directly into the other computer, put The flash drive in the EFI folder and Bootmgr.efi file deleted, the problem is done, and then use this disk to boot disk to install the system, there will be no such problems.
Delete the two folders and files because the installation from the USB stick will be used by default EFI boot boot, deleted after the EFI, the default is started with MBR.
     In addition, I previously burned win8 with a CD-ROM, when the installation of friends, but also the same problem, but the problem is that my disc is a read and write, can not be like a USB stick in the two folders to delete, So I don't know how to do it for CDs. But, oddly, my own computer is also installed with a USB stick Windows 8 Pro, but did not appear the above problem, I personally think because my computer is older (bought at the end of 09), does not support the cause of EFI boot. What is EFI? This is a very important technology, the rule of the computer more than 20 years of BIOS boot technology will be replaced by EFI, at that time, in the BIOS setup interface (strictly speaking the EFI interface) can use the mouse, or Chinese, no longer obscure English, is no longer only use the keyboard operation.

workaround Two: non-preloaded win8 models factory, the hard disk default to MBR partitioned table format, and UEFI mode only support the GPT partition table to install the system on the hard disk.
If the system installation CD contains UEFI information, the boot may automatically load and enter UEFI mode, so the "Windows cannot install to this disk, the selected disk has an MBR partition table, on the EFI system, Windows can only install to the GFT disk" prompt.
We recommend that you try the following methods:
The Power on press ESC, will display two CD-ROM or USB drive options, select the CD-ROM name before the option to boot without UEFI, you can normally install the system on the MBR partition table hard disk.

Solution Three: Enter the motherboard to select the start of the project, such as F8, F11 and so on, U disk startup has 2 items, one is EFI boot, one is normal boot, install 64-bit system, choose EFI boot, will be wrong, should choose normal boot. If the CD is installed, enter the BIOS to see if EFI enters the BIOS to see the UEFI state, enabled if it is on, then disable it to see (change to Disabled), save the reboot, select the CD drive to boot. However, you cannot select the drive mode for UEFI.
