hello, i was trying to install windows 7, but there was a problem, when i tried to select the drives to install winows 7,it kept telling me "the disk is of the gpt partition style", i deleted all the drives and made new drives but it still gave me the same error, so i opened command prompt and typed,DISKPART, and cleaned partition 1 and 2, now it wont boot up
i just turn on the laptop and it says "this product is covered by one or more of the following patents", and it restarts.HELP ME

When I install Windows 7, I deleted all partitions on the drives so that it shows only 1 unallocated partition. Then I don't create new drives... I just hit next and let Windows setup do it.

Were you using a DVD or USB drive to boot Windows 7 install?
Can you get to a boot menu and boot to the DVD or USB?
From what I read, that patent message comes up when the laptop cannot find a suitable drive to boot to.
