    Hm....! That's funny. Have you try to access the USB Stick as USB HDD? If not try that. I had such on an Dell Laptop some time ago and on a few older MB's. Chosed the USB HDD in Boot Manager and that was working!

    Could you post a screenshot from Boot Manager?

    Also had you checked your BIOS Settings and is the BIOS the latest you could find?

    Can't post any link or pics because I am under 20 posts.

    Haven't checked if it's the latest bios or not and don't know how to install bios with no windows.
    But I can't even install the win now,it says the win can't be installed to this partition.

    As you seem to come so far to install Windows, did you try to delete the partitions with Setup Media via 'Advanced Drive Options', when you are prompted where to install Windows.

    So i just installed the win,tried the loader and it still says "Unsupported...".And also says "bad slic format".
    It's not a big surprise for me as the partition is still in Gpt as I couldn't format the hdd without equal symbol.So as the win is hungarian and the keyboard is english,it could be the problem I think.Should I set the win to english?if yes,how?

    Hi again.

    I couldn't solve the problem yet.Is that possible my laptop can boot with no uefi only from USB?I got "legacy usb support" option in the bios.
    Otherwise,I have put "clear" command in the diskpart,should I do it with "clear all" instead?

    Thanks

    If you get that error you are still booting UEFI.

    I don't have any "boot without UEFI" in BIOS

    Hello guys, i bought yesterday an Acer aspire v5-531 with linux and i wanted to put windows 7 on it. I deleted all the partitions and after that, formatted. I tried to activate the windows with "windows loader 2.2.1" and i get this error message: IMG_20130809_222643.jpg . I followed the - # 4 - UEFI motherboards - from the Readme file. And i still get this message "Unsupported partition table". I tried to boot without UEFI but i cant find the quick boot, and i don't have any option like "boot from DVD disk in non-UEFI mode": IMG_20130809_223049.jpg . Please help me guys. TX alot!:worthy:

    It worked with the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and with one Windows 7 w/o SP1 ISO, without deleting bootmgr.efi from the USB. Thx again, you saved my ass

    Hey DAZ, I have just read all 4 pages, and still need your help!

    I am getting the "Unsupported partition table", but I do have an MBR partition table, I'm using Windows Loader v2.2.1 and the problem only occurred after I bought a samsung SSD and used the samsung utility to clone my previous operating system SSD to the new samsung one. Nothing changed except for my Office and Windows activations. I fixed the Office one, but I can't seem to fix the Windows one. Windows 7 build 7601. Your thoughts?

    I notice on the Windows Loader screen, in the "details" section, it says "GBT - (01/28/11)". I have no idea what this means, as I only installed windows 7 a few months ago, and I only cloned it a few days ago, and Paragon says that I have MBR.

    I have not changed any settings in the bios and I have not installed any new hardware.
