At first i installed Linux mint on my hard drive. This disk is splitted up into two partitions. After i installed linux i formatted the 2nd partition and deleted and created it new. It's the /dev/sda3. If i try to install windows from an usb stick on it, i cant because it presents me the following error message: "windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table".
My partitions look like:
/dev/sda1 2048 976562175 488280064 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 976564222 982421503 2928641 5 Erweiterte
Partition 2 beginnt nicht an einer physikalischen Sektorgrenze.
/dev/sda3 982421504 2000408575 508993536 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda5 976564224 982421503 2928640 82 Linux Swap / Solaris
So i tried to convert my partition scheme to gpt i did this: sudo gdisk /dev/sda3
Then i get the following message:
Partition table scan:
MBR: MBR only
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: not present

You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility
Do i really need to resize my /dev/sda2? But to what should i resize it then? Just make it smaller or what?
