Hi

I have some serious software conflcts on my computer, an app is basically dependant on not having MBT [i think] and UEFI disabled.

Trouble is, I googled and have not been able to find any information anywhere which will allow me to remove UEFI and revert back to regular MBR partition.

ANy tips on easily doing this without reinstalling everything? I just reinstalled everything on my computer a few weeks back - took 3 days!

I had two additional storage drives installed, so yet. The software in questions is pretty essential for work and need it urgently.

I remember Windows having these multiple hard drive installation woes - i thought by now they would have fixed the problem.

I rememebr during the XP days if you were changing hard drives and cloned it by placing both drives internally via sata, you had to boot with the new cloned drive in only. You have once chance to get it right. If you booted with both drives in at the same time, then one of the Windows installations will get broken.

Chances are your original hard drive was set as primary and the clone was set as secondary, so if you rebotted after clone that is how the computer will recognise it.

just took the plunge and just reinstalled windows from scratch.. fun fun.

Had trouble just formatting and installing - windows won't install because the partition is the wrong kind. (I gues partition table is on a different drive?). So I had to load up gparted and delete all paritions and create a new ones.
