I've been a Mac user since the 90's. A co-worker gave me an old PC with a completely wiped hard drive. I've been trying to install a copy of Windows 7 for the past 48 hours and hit just about every roadblock that can come along with doing this. Your video and instructions have finally got me to the installation section with a 25% completion bar. I'm stoked. Thank YOU!!

You're welcome! Just keep coming back, better than messing it up accidentally.

[@HEDGEBATCAT]

If GPT doesn't work then go back into disc part and select disk zero and say convert MBR and it should convert to an MBR disk that's should fix your problem

[@zerg3]

@@HEDGEBATCAT still shows- No device drivers were found..

[@HEDGEBATCAT]
