As the title Says.. Im trying to install a New OS on a Laptop with Uefi(Pre-installed Windows 8). I have a Entry-Mid Level knowledge on Installing OS and stuff..but almost New to Uefi. so what i did what Change the Boot from Uefi to Legacy then Booted into the OS installation.When i reach the Partition Part. it says that the following Hard Disk was a GPT..as far as i know. you cant boot make that HDD Bootable anymore or so i know. Its the MBR thats can be bootable,, so Any Tips? Thanks in Advance

It was a Pre-Installed Win 8 Laptop. and i dont have much knowledge on GPT and UEFI. The legacy boot is the one im familiar with. So all i need to do is just Wipe the Disk and ill be able to install a new OS on it?

Btw since i dont know much about UEFI much.. care to Enlighten me? all i know is that with UEFI, it uses a different boot option and needs a GPT HDD..

Sorry for the Late Reply.. been Busy
