Hi All...
Warm Greetings !!
I am very confused with this first time Install.
After assembling all my desktop parts.I attached a USB external CD/BLUERAY Drive with Windows8 OS DISK.
I initially choosed 1st boot option as USB/DVD-XXXXX-SAMSUNG BB506-XXXX.
It booted and started installing OS.
Then at the OS setup screen I saw this error >>
Pl see link >>

Name---------------------------------TotalSize----------FreeSpace----------Type
Drive 0 Partition 1 : Recovery---300.0 MB-----------24.0 MB-----------Recovery
Drive 0 Partition 2 : ---------------100.0 MB-----------56.0 MB-----------System
Drive 0 Partition 3 : --------------128.0 MB-----------128.0 MB----------MSR (Reserved)
Drive 0 Partition 4 : --------------465.2 GB----------465.1 GB-----------Primary
Error Msg is "windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What I did is I removed the Harddisk and formatted it in another laptop.And replaced it and this time I choosed
UEFI + CD-BLUERAY-XXXXX-SAMSUNG BB506-XXXX as 1st bootable media from the options I had.
Now I could see only 2 partitions
Pl see this image

I choosed the second partition and installed WIN8.Everything is fine.
Name----------------------------------------TotalSize---------- FreeSpace--------Type
Drive 0 Partition 1 System Reserved :350.0 MB----------320.0 MB----------System
Drive 0 Partition 2 :---------------------- 465.4 GB----------465.3 GB----------Primary
But my main concern or question is does the HARD DISK needs to show 4 partitions as shown in first setup image?
What happened to the recovery and MSR (Reserved) PArtitions ??
Any help is greatly appreciated
((
Am I doing something wrong ((
Please suggest ?
