So as the title states, whenever I try to install Windows 10, I get the following error: "Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table."

My disk setup is as follows:

SSD = Has OS El Capitan

HDD = Has two partitions:
1. Storage Partition (formatted as Mac OS Extended Journal)
2. Windows Partition (formatted as ExFat, MSDOS Fat & OS Extended Journal.. neither of them worked)

How do I fix this problem?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What version of Windows?
Backup all data on the storage partition.
Format the HDD with a single partition formatted to GUID partition tables, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Shrink the partition the amount of free space you want for the Windows install
Format the free space volume GPT+ for OS X
Boot Windows installer
Select partition, click advanced, click format, continue the installation of Windows
