Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks

This is an error which i s occur when someone is installing a window on your PC. This is an hardware problem and can be solve. There's a lot methods to solve this. I mention here:
Method 1:
If your computer does not support UEFI, delete all the hard drives partitions and create a new partition (backup any data first):
1. Boot from the Windows DVD
2. Click Install Now
3. At the setup screen, click Custom (Advanced)
4. Click Drive Options
5. Select the partition(s) you want to format
6. Click Format - this will delete EVERYTHING on that partition
7. Create a new partition and select a partition to install Windows on.
8. Continue with install.
If the Windows install disk doesn’t work for the above you can do the following to reformat your drive:
1. Download and burn a Gparted ISO from here:
2. Boot from the Gparted disk.
3. Use Gparted to delete all partitions on the hard drive.
4. Under “Device” choose Create Partition Table to make a new partition table.
5. Create a NTFS partition (or you could wait and create a partition when installing Windows).
6. Then boot from the Windows install disk and install Windows.
Method 2:
If you install a window on your PC through USB, then first Check how to boot USB from Command Prompt.
When you boot from USB then there will be a problem in booting USB. This problem is commonly due to format of booting USB. If you boot USB in "Fat32" format then this problem is occured. Change the format to "NTFS" and then boot it. I hope that this will work on your PC.
