Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I couldn't find a specific area for questions on separate operating systems.
I'm really stumped here. During the windows install, while trying to format the windows partition then install, Windows thinks that the partition that I want to install it in is MBR, but it's actually GPT. The reason it wants GPT is because my motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z77-UD5H) uses efi, which makes windows require it. At first I thought I just forgot, so I just re-formatted the drive through disk utility, making sure to select GPT in the options menu. I went back to the windows installer, and it still thought that it was MBR. Any suggestions?
