It's impossible to install Windows into a GPT partition if the |

In this case, you must either revert to an msdos partition table (can |
| 14 |
be done w/o data loss IIRC), or trick Windows into believing it's |
| 15 |
running on EFI, i.e. set up UEFI DUET. Google that and you'll find an |
| 16 |
excellent HOWTO on this. Happy hacking~ |
