Hey all,

I am having a right mere with this problem here and I hope that someone can help me, basically I am trying to set up my windows 7 laptop so that it duel boots between 7 and 8 which sounds great. My existing W7 partition has been shrunk and a new partition has been created ready for the install however when trying to install using the disk, I keep being told that windows cant be installed onto the partition due to the disk being a MBR format (think that what the three letters are) .

Is there a way round this without having to remove the current install and remove all of my content.

Help :-(

Cheers
