Solved: Install Windows 7 from Bootable USB drive - GPT Partition issue

Hi All

I have made a bootable USB drive on my Windows 7 machine using a Windows 7 x64 ISO file (4.6GB) and Power ISO.

When I want to boot from the USB drive on my new Windows 8 x64 laptop, it does not pick up the bootable USB drice. However, I changed the Boot Mode to Legacy with UEFI as 1st option, so now it picks up the USB drive in the Boot menu

All fine, but when I want to install Windows 7 on a new formatted Partition, it tell me that it cannot install windows on a GPT Partitioned Drive.

How can I fix this? I cannot format the partition to MBR scheme, it does not give me the option, not even from diskmgmt.msc

Thank you
