I have had a good run with my hackintosh but I need to go back to my old windows 8.1 version. I booted into the Mac installation and used disk utility to erase the Mac partition (I had installed a single partition, not dual boot) and selected MS-DOS (FAT) and clicked erase. When I went back into the windows installation, it says windows can not be installed on my hard drive and I need to make a partition for it. How can i do this? Please help, I am completely stumped..

@J03Y098,

 

Try cleaning the hard drive with Diskpart from the Windows command prompt. 

 

If using a Windows DVD/install USB, pressing Shift + F10 at the first GUI screen opens the command prompt, then type the following commands followed be <Enter> after each line:

 

diskpart

list disk

select disk X (where X=the disk number of the disk you want to clean)

clean

create partition primary

 

Good Luck!
