So we need to convert to GPT

I just wasted 5-6 hrs before finding this. I was doing the disk part steps, but this guy is the first to say it needed to be done prior to entering the product key. Everything is working now.
I'm trying to save some old computers my employer was going to toss and this absolutely came in clutch. A single 4 minute video has helped prevent two perfectly usable systems from ending up in a landfill. Thank you!

Remember y’all, running “clean” will delete everything.
I unplugged my hard drive while installing windows to my ssd just to be safe.

I feel you bro !

lmfao same with my mother, says no gadgets lasts long to me.
Additional information that helped me: If you have trouble telling two drives apart (such as if they are the same size) you can look at "detail disk" and it should list the name which helped me a lot. Great video, thank you!
You wonderful man! I thank you!! This has been such a pain in the arse! Subed!
Thanks
nice to hear that :)
realy great video ! easy and simple . already saved me some trouble two times
Totally agree with you. He is wonderful ha ha
Thank you so much. Worked perfectly for Windows 10. I was afraid I would have to buy a new hard drive so you saved me money. I was already very stressed out due to computer problems so being able to do a fresh install was great. I depend on my computer for my livelihood so this was a huge deal for me. Thank You!
My problem is that I cannot install a fresh copy of Windows 7 on a GPT partition. I have set my BIOS as EUFI and and rebooted my computer. I have an 8TB hard drive and want to use the full capacity of the hard drive for Windows 7. Unfortunately, I get an error when trying to install Windows 7 on a GPT partition. Windows automatically resizes the partition to 2TB limit. Is there a fix for this problem?
Yes because Windows 7 by default runs on BIOS Legacy which uses MBR partition. So this means that MBR partition can max have 4 partition and it is just limited to 2 TB of space. So in short, rest of 6 GB is theoretically useless for a drive in MBR partition.
Try the Gigabyte tool for windows 7, have all the necessary to have a W7 USB for modern computers.
If you’re on a laptop you might need to press/hold “Fn” first then shift + f10

@@someoneelse4811 so what you tryna say it cant be done without formatting the whole drive ?
So how to do it ? Use the flashdrive and pick the bootable with mbr scheme ? Mine's laptop not working that way, the system and the bios cant read it tho
@@eriksutisna4994 Actually, nevermind. The only (practical) way of converting the disk to GPT would be to wipe the entire disk. Do you have more than one computer?

I like MineCraft he probably tried to repair a pc and he couldn't do it and almost got fired? I suppose.
that sounds a bit harsh now, doesn't it?
You probably did get fired because it was all partitions and formatted the hard drive which wiped all the files out.

+Britec09 legend buddy
+Britec09 But the thing is, how do I do it so I have Mac OS not wiped from the computer?
***** The only way I could do that is by bringing it to Apple Fix. I guess they have tools to do that. I did cost be 40 bucks though...
Had it solved a differrent way. I didn't want to loose any data.
Quite simple.
1. Restart and go into the bios setup. In my case, dell. Esc then F12
2. Change boot sequence to Legacy.
3. Restart......windows now installs with the disk error anymore.
Thats for me. Might help.
Thanks for the good tutorial as well.
Works exactly the same way with Windows 10. Huge thanks to you man you just saved my day with this.
This proces do all drivers data formated,or only c drive format tel me please

Is there any way to only format the :C drive and not the other one's if yes please tell me i have really important data and i have formatted my :C drive :-(
You just have to format the drive you are installing windows on.
Hi @GamePlayLover, Having the same issue. Have you got any way to clean only C drive?
Select the C drive when you are cleaning, just find out the drive number before hand.
you just have to save all of that data in your other disks and then do this stuff and if you dont have any other disk,
Well then make one by your self
i cant explain
just watch an youtube tutorial and it will be all fine
why am i commenting on this comment after 5 mouths LOL
its no use
