I need your help. ive got in my notebook a 128 ssd. 2 partitions. at the first ive got mac os lion. on the second nothing. it was formatted as fat. Now i tried to install win7 but there is coming a message which says: windows can not. something with gpt partitionstil.

has someone a solution?
 
boot into osx, use disk utility to re-format the partition to fat32 then load up windows install disk.
It will most likely say that you cannot use partition * to install windows but you can then format it using the windows install disk and it should solve your problem.
It happened to me too.
 
In order to create an Hybrid disc (MBR + GPT) it have to be in one format action at disc utility. It means it has to erase the disc and at the Partition tab create the partitions you want. One should be HFS+ and the other FAT 32.
