How to convert the MBR to GPT to work around Windows Installer error bootcamp

Hello

I have a problem as a previous post (8.1 to Windows Installer on iMac with drive fusion, GPT partition error):

"Hello,

I have tried to install windows via bootcamp on my iMac and can't seem to fix the "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style' error.

I successfully completed all the steps until I'm in Windows Setup and select the partition on which Windows should be installed. I get the error "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. "I formatted the partition, but I still get the same error. »

Trying to get this resolved as soon as POSSIBLE. I have a MacBook Pro 8.2 (early 2011). El Capitan installed. I already disabled SIP. Try to install Windows 10, if possible, or 8.1 if and then to 10. The target volume is disk0s4. I was able to successfully create a Setup disk Windows 10 USB (even on my MBP 2011), thanks -windows-to-create-the-usb-flash-drive-for-mountain-lion-with-updated-boot-camp/ https://mihail.stoynov.com/2013/04/22/force-boot-camp-into-using-an-iso-image-of

I tried to look around in this forum and elsewhere to solve my problem. I have met help desk 'Loner' of T and hope he can ring for my case. Here is the result of the following commands in a Terminal:

diskutil list

Cs diskutil list

sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

In addition, I downloaded gDisk but I can't seem to be able to select all the options. Be waiting for instructions.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Gabriel

Hello again,

Due to the time constraint, I went ahead and had a run of luck the orders gdisk on mine. My Bootcamp partition is disk0s4. I get the following error:

Complete control of the final. About to write data of TPG. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING

PARTITIONS!

Do you want? (Y/N): Y

OK; new partition table (GPT) GUID written/dev/disk0.

WARNING: Open with shared lock devices will not have their

table partition automatically reloaded!

Failed to open device ' / dev/disk0 ' for writing! Errno is 1! Abandonment of writing!

Is it just b/c that I can't make these changes on the disk I am running off?

  • How to install the disc that has already worked with Windows 95/98 in Windows 8?

    Hello

    I am trying to install an old CD ROM National Geographic on my Windows 8 operating system.  Is this possible or am I barking the wrong tree.  Records say Windows 98/95, between other things necessary to be able to install.  Is it possible to install on my computer or am I out of luck?  I would not lose this set because it is intriguing and entertaining.  Help!

    Original title: old records CD ROM and install

    You can try compatibility mode, but if it does not, your best option would be to install on a computer that is running a much older version of Windows such as Windows XP or an earlier version.

    Programs designed for earlier versions of Windows such as Windows 98/95 uses 16-bit installers and uninstall programs. This is not supported in 64 bit versions of Windows 8 in all. If you are running a version of Windows 8 bit, 16 bit support is disabled by default, so you need to activate that before trying.

    http://www.askvg.com/Windows-8-comes-with-built-in-16-bit-application-support/

    After that, you can try compatibility mode:

    Something like this maybe:

    DELETE FROM dbo.tb1 a
     WHERE EXISTS (
      SELECT 1
        FROM dbo.tb1 b
      WHERE a.co11 = b.col1

    Although you need to do here is to check that CONNECT it BY SELECT, returns records you wait first, then the DELETION should work too.

  • How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?

    How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?  These faxes have been received when I had Windows XP.

    Hello

    A file with FXR and FXM file extensions is a Document received from WinFax.

    You can open the FXR and FXM file by double clicking on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file.   If no program opens, the FXR and FXM file, then you have probably an installed application that can view and/or edit FXR and FXM files.

    You can use a Notepad or another text editor to open these files.  Number of files is files read-only, which means little matter file extension, a text editor may be able to view the contents of the file properly.  This may or may not be the case with FXR and FXM files, but it's worth a try.

    How a FXR and FXM files:
    There are two ways to try to convert a file to a different file type:

    a. open the FXR file in its default program and choose to save the file open in another file format.

    b. use a softwarefrom online file conversion to convert these files to another file format.

    Note:
    using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
