I searched the web, but didn't find anything.
I formated my single partition (300GB) to mbr partition table (it used gpt before). Now I want to install windows 7 but I can't because:
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR
partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
I guess there is a way to boot the Windows DVD without UEFI, but how? In my bios I did not found anything that contains the word "EFI". So how can I install Windows 7 with mbr?
Thanks.

If you haven't solved this yet, or if anyone else finds this thread, you have to convert to GPT:
diskpart
and press Enter.list disk
(Not the number of the disk you want to use)select disk X
where isX
is the number of the disk you want to use.clean
convert gpt
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data
