    Hi, having some trouble installing windows 7.

    When I want to choose a partition to put it on, it says it is unable to install to the partitions, any partition. The reason given is this (paraphrased)

    This disk has a MBR partition Table. On EFI systems, windows 7 can be installed to GPT Disks.

    All help is appreciated.

    Has noone dual booting vista on their systems run through this before? If it helps, I have both Vista 64 and Vista 32 dual booted on my system already and I want to put Windows 7 on a 20GB partition in between them.
