Hello,
I recently converted everything from MBR to GPT via diskpart in CMD (except for my current win7 ssd). Everything I've read about MBR and GPT says that GPT is newer and recommended for future compatibility with newer MOBOs. Now when I try to install windows 10 on my 3tb Seagate, I get this message. My BIOS is set to Legacy and UEFI so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
My current main windows 7 drive is a 840 pro, formatted as MBR, so when I turn to UEFI boot mode only I can't load it. I can't convert it back to MBR because then the partitians will be split, it needs to be GPT to have access to all 3tb.
I'm installing from CD (I know I know)
specs:
Seagate 3tb 7200
GA UD5 x79
3930k
Windows 10 Pro
Thanks!
