Bought a new Seagate Barracuda ST2000dm001 - need to format as TPG, not MBR - HOW?

This drive seems to be the MBR, same format of Seagate DiskWizard.  Windows 7 is not installed on this new disc and gives a message about a UEFI needing to be GPT, MBR.

I tried to use Diskpart to convert, but I'm not doing anything at this point.  Any help would be appreciated.  What I am doing wrong?

By installing windows (or try) the message says: Windows could not format a partition on disk 0.  The error occurred when preparing the partition selected for installation. Error code: 0 x 80070057.

I tried to delete the partitions during installation as instructions of Microsoft said.  He made two partitions, a principal that we try to do the installation of.  It does not matter that we have reached the next or the Format, and then click Next, always the same error (unable to format).  At one point, he gave the above message MBR... to TPG.

What I don't get?

In Diskpart: I selected the disc using the disc list and select the drive and then said to convert a GPT.  He said that the specified disk is not convertible. CD-ROM and DVD is examples of discs that are not - convertible (I chose the new HD Seagate 2 TB) so I tried volume selecting volume from the list and select the volume and then convert GPT.  Always the same answer not be convertible.

If Windows 7 is installed to a new HD 2 TB raw, and he said he'd be of TPG, so I try to use Diskpart to convert to GPT to MBR, why is it not seeming to work? I use the command Diskpart evil?

Hello

Master boot record (MBR) disks use the standard BIOS partition table. Disks GUID partition table (GPT) using unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI). MBR disks do not support more than four partitions on each disk. The MBR partition method is not recommended for disks larger than 2 terabytes.

Transform a boot drive primary in a disc of Table of Partition GUID

I also suggest you to report the issue in the Seagate forums to get information on how to convert the hard disk.
