Yes, use your original install disk.
When it asks 'where', select Custom
You'll see several existing partitions.
Click on each, and Delete
You'll end up with one large unformatted space
Format
Then let Windows install, creating what it needs.

I need to wipe out all the data on the drive and turn my hard drive from a mbr to a gpt format and i need to do it at the page where it says "Instal Windows 7" if i do ur method which is deleting all the partitions using custom, will i be able to back out (after i deleted the partitions) and go back to the "Install Windows 7" page?
You should still be able to back out, but the new disk setup might not be saved our might not be applied. Because I find windows disk tools so infuriating I use a live Ubuntu USB to use GParted, which I find to be the best alternative out there.
Best of luck.
