I turned my older Toshiba Satellite laptop into a chromebook using the following methods:http://ift.tt/1PkTHCd
So I played with it a while and decided to reinstall windows 7 from boot dvd. Early in the installation a window popped up asking which partition I wanted to use (seems as though the chrome os installation partitioned my hd into 12 parts. There was only one partition with enough free space to use (300gb) so I selected that one. Another window said it couldn't install there because the partition was GPT type. Just for kicks, I tried all the others. Same result. It gives me the option to delete or format a drive but I'm not sure how to proceed. If I choose to format, will I be able to change the type from GPT, and if so, what should I change it to?
Note: I posted this in Windows forum and am awaiting a response. Just figured I'd also post here being that AV is my most trusted source of tech help
