hey guys. i have 1 problem. i cant install windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my ssd. i tryed with diskpart on cmd to format to ntfs and i tryed converting to gpt and mbr, but when i create a new partition in the clean gpt partition ( which is the only file format the ssd can be allowed to install w7 in by the mainboard) and make the partition 120gb i try to activate the partition with the command active, then it says it cannot be activated because, the mbr is not fixed on the ssd. and when i install w7 on the gpt file system without a partiton i cannot activate windows, because partition table is unsupported. so how can i get my ssd back to normal ( with mbr file system and w7 working with partition activation...??? plz help

No problem, glad it worked.

Yeah, when paritioning Windows tends to allocate the parition size for what it needs, playing with the size settings might have conflicts as you experienced.
