I am hp pavilion-15 e009tu laptop. I am using WINDOWS 8.1 PRO(64*) .
I want to install windows 7 ultimate(64*) as dual boot.
I disabled "safeboot" option and enabled "legacy support" option in BIOS to support legacy OS installation.
After that when i tried to install the windows 7 to my hard drive as dual boot in drive D: ...((that is C: holds windows 8.1 pro and D: drive i planned to install windiws 7))... i get a message like... the os cannot be installed to any partion in harddrive due to GPT partition style.
But when i tried to get online guidance... mostly i got that... total harddrive should be formatted to continue installation.
But i dont have enough external devices to take backup of several GBs of data.
Please give me a solution .
