Don’t worry if you can’t manage to install Windows on a drive. Here’s how to get things fixed.

If you don’t have any other operating systems installed on another hard disk, you can utilize the command prompt. Please keep in mind that this procedure will delete any data on the drive you’re going to convert.

  • Start by inserting Windows Installation Disk and wait for the Windows Setup screen. Press Shift + F10 to open the command prompt.
  • Type diskpart and press Enter.
  • Type list disk to fetch a list of drives on your computer.
  • Choose the disk you want to convert to MBR. This should be the disk on which you want to install Windows. select disk 0
  • Run clean then convert mbr to convert the partition to MBR.
diskpart
list disk
select disk 0
clean
convert mbr

When you’re finished, close the command prompt. Return to the Windows installation and repeat the installation process.
