Right now, I do not have any operating system cause i formatted everything while trying to install windows 8 which did not work out because the disk is GPT.
How do I install Win 8 now? I can operate the system via linux though, but through a flash drive cause even linux is not being installed..
Help me out :(

OK, my laptop is currently GPT formatted but i do not have EUFI based ISO setup for Win8 installation. So, I wanted to convert the file system to MBR and then install from the iso that i have right now.
What should I do?

If you have a Windows 8 x64 DVD, you have a UEFI installer.

Its on a flash drive.
So, I changed the drive from GPT to MBR.
When I try to install it through flash drive, it says something like, "partition not available " . Im stuck here . How do I create an NTFS partition now??

Where do you buy your Windows 8 x64 DVD from?
