Udit Sharmaa · Oct 9, 2013

I have seagate 3tb hdd - st3000dm001. I want to install window 8 in it. but it says - you can't install window in GPT hdd. my mobo have uefi bios. I have latest mobo (gigabyte gah87m-d3h) and intel i5 cpu. what to do now?

Make sure you are using the 64bit version as the 32bit won't support booting from GPT.

Did you make sure your bios is in uefi/efi mode?

whenever I set bios settings, my window 7 become corrupt. but nothing happen positive. Is there anything more than bios setting like dvd writer compatible with uefi or window disk/dvd uefi support or something else?

Two issues with your post.

"Whenever I set bios settings, <your> win7 becomes corrupt."

My question is: What settings have you changed exactly? From 'what' to 'what'?

Also, you mention "nothing happen positive"... I am assuming you either error whilst installing, reboot upon boot up OR receive an error message during bootup.

Please clarify which of those you are aiming to project

when I set uefi settings, there are 3-4 options in my mobo. i'm confuse what to do with them. there is also an option - ABOUT CHOOSING Option ROM - Legacy opROM OR UEFI opROM. What to do with that? also, is there anything about uefi dvd writer or uefi supported window installation disk/dvd?

You need to have your optical drive set as UEFI according to your manual. Also you can select Legacy And UEFI option, again according to your manual. If that doesn't work just put it in UEFI only mode then go about your business.

You might need a 64bit only install cd of windows 8 but I am just guessing at that.

means there is nothing about uefi supported window disk and dvd writer. so acc. to you problem is in bios setting? my window disk have all versions of window 8(32 and 64 bit - basic,pro,etc)
