Get the error "Windows cannot be installed to this disk" when you try to install Windows 7 after Ubuntu was installed on the desktop computer

So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my newly built office. I didn't like, so I had windows 7. I started Windows, and choose to perform a custom, Setup since I did not have before windows. Now, here's the problem, is not letting me install on my drive. I get the message: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is a MBR partition table. on EFI systems, Windoos cannot be installed on GPT disks.    Is my previous installation of Ubuntu, the cause of this? How can I resolve this problem and install windows7?

GParted allows to format the disk, and then try the installation again.
