If you start with a clean drive, no partitions and the drive considered basically RAW, booting into the UEFI install will convert the drive to GPT then create 3 partitions. This means the entire hard drive, not just certain partitions. For the Boot drive, an MBR install requires a MBR configured drive and a UEFI install requires a GPT configured drive, which you probably already know. I am having a little trouble following where you are exactly, and the mention of C: leads me to believe you already have some type of install on the drive.Ī system with a UEFI bios can install Windows 8 as either MBR or UEFI.
Is anythink ok in doing that and should I change the partiton table style an reinstalling winodws that way?how?Īlso dont know if this has relevance : during the windows installation from disk when I was prompted to choose from where to boot in boot menu there was besides the SATA corp an UEFI one also but I selected to boot from the SATA one? I dont know if it was correct but I managed to install Windows ( ofc after deleting the stuff I mentioned) but now when I entered the boot menu I can only see the SATA one. I could only manage to instal windows after deleting all of the partitons? On another install more recently ,even I was having a single c partition, I still couldnt manage to instal my windows there or format it without deleting that system reserve partition, backup one and EFI one.
Encountered this problem when trying to install windows: I couldnt install windows in C ,neither to format that partition because of this message and an error code 0x0000 smth.
