Hello everyone! I have an old HPdc7100 CMT machine, and I have tried to clean install Win7 ult 32 bit on this old motherboard. My wish is that, if I could do it with GPT instead of MBR. With MBR, that is not a problem at all. Now, I made the 160GB Hard Disc unformatted (with no partition, blank, unallocated from start to finish). I inserted the installation DVD. Once started, at some...

I might be in big trouble here, but I'm hoping someone can help. I turned off my computer, which triggered a bunch of updates.
