Okay i went to reformat my pc so i stuck in my windows 7 disk but when i click on my main harddrive it wont let me click next and it says windows cannot be installed to disk 1 partition 2 and says same for partition 1 aswell but partition 2 is were windows is installed and used as main harddrive so i click show details and it says... 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 disk. And it says that for partition 1 aswell also if i click repair to try get back onto my pc it says "this version of system recovery option is not conpatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disk that is compatible with this version of windowa" im using windows 7 and i put in the same winxows 7 disk :S so i cant even get back onto my computer like the desktop only bios and this :s what do i do
 
What hdd(what size is it) and mobo are you using?

I have found with some drives, that in your bios boot options it can appear twice. One is EFI and the other UEFI. If you don't have these options, do you have another PC you can put the drive in. If so, then just use diskmanagement to change it from MBR to GPT.
 
Okay i formatted it so theres now nothing on my pc but theres no optipn for add new partition :( so still cant install, i have 120 ssd snd 700 hdd and i went into boot override and ahh thank you yh boot 1 was the same as boot 3 and i switched them around and now it lets me install thank you for the help guys :D
