i want to dual boot windows 8 and linux mint but the linux mint installer wont show the 'install along side windows' if the disk in not MBR so can any one help. windows can convert it but it must be another drive which does not have the C partition on. there is a program called Aomei disk management which can do it but it costs and i can't find a safe cracked version.

anyone know how i could do it?

This is the webpage for the Aomei Disk Management program by the way.

How to Convert MBR to GPT without Data Loss?
Windows Built-in Disk Management
The Diskpart Command can achieve the goal by the following steps.
Step 1: click "Start", and input "diskpart" in the searching box.
Step 2: input "list disk", and then select the disk you want to convert by typing "select disk x"
Step 3: input "list partition", and then select the existing partitions and delete all of them by typing "delete partition x" command.
Step 4:: input ''"convert gpt".

What about the reverse?

Is there a way to change to MBR from GPT?
