Same for me. I heard some legends that windows 7 sp1+ boots/installs to gpt... but oops. Nope. I had already solaris and linux instlled there... i even left 1st ans 2nd partition for dummy m$ windoz but it failed... windows 8 said the same for me... m$ likes only m$dos partition table...
Also have found on M$ technet that during boot need to do some magic stuff and get cmd. Call out part tool and create M$ windoz gpt... but for that i had to remove Debian. so i said sorry bill but Ian Murdok i respect more... If some one knows for 100% sure and can film windoz installer installs to gpt table. Please let us know! Sorry for mistakes and my bad english and typos... writing from android... a bit uncomfortable feeling if compared to samsung b2710 :) fast firmware On Sat, 4 Jul 2015 02:04 Joel Rees <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 1:14 AM, Peter Kay <[email protected]> > wrote: > > The method in the OpenBSD docs is a no extra tools required method. > BCDedit > > makes it even easier. > > > > 1) Install Windows 7/8 on an MBR disk.
