Trying to install windows 7 to a partition but W7 says it can not
install to the drive because it can not install to a GPT partition.
Does Ubuntu create a GPT partition?  Perhaps Chrome OS does?  I have
Chrome OS on here (don't need it really, just tried it out to see if
it would work on Netflix, which it does not for me)

Thanks\
