Hello Bra, and welcome to Eight Forums.
You'll need to convert the disk back to MBR in a command prompt at boot first using step 2 in in OPTION TWO of the tutorial below. You can do this by booting from your Windows 8 installation media (USB/DVD)
Afterwards, you should be able to do a clean install with your Windows 8.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

You probably just need to boot the Windows 8 Install media as UEFI. If you try to install the MBR version on a GPT drive, you will get the message. The links Shawn gave should show you how to boot it correctly.
