![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just for reference, all Mac's use a GPT partition scheme, so unless you deleted the partition table and recreated it as MBR, it's probably still in GPT format. Thinking about it, this may be a cause of your problems, as if the disk is GPT, and you have booted the installer in legacy mode, it won't be able to install to it (although you may be able to delete all existing partitions in the custom install menu). One other thing, if the disk has a GPT partition scheme, then Windows 7 needs to be installed in UEFI mode. On GPT/UEFI systems I believe it adds an extra partition. If you have a original retail copy then you can reactivate it with the help of Microsoft customer support. The main problem you might face is activating it. By default I believe it creates a "System Reserved" partition, and a single large partition on the remaining space. Answer (1 of 2): Windows does not install itself automatically.

You can use DISKPART but most find it easier to use Disk Management, as per instructions here. If you want it to have a drive letter you need to create a new partition and then assign a drive letter. Unpartitioned disks with no partitions (or unrecognised partitions, or simply partitions without a drive letter assigned) won't show up. "My Computer" will only show formatted partitions which have a drive letter assigned. ![]()
