First off, I know this isn't extreme but it seemed like the best place, Sorry.... :p:
I'm putting together a rig from spare parts for Craigslist but I needed a hard drive. I picked up a Toshia 1TB @ MC for $60.
Problem is, when I go to install Vista64 it says the drive isn't valid for install because it's partitioned as GTP... :shrug:
I've never experienced this problem before, does anyone know how to fix it?
I tried putting the drive in a different machine using WIN7 Disk Management (showed 3 partitions), but I couldn't do much with it.
So then I tried using GParted and deleted all partitions on the drive. Still the same error when trying to install Vista!
I feel like such a noob! :shakes:
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dave
