    English is not my first language and I'm a noob at this complicated stuff. I'm booting from uefi format win 7 in a usb drive.

    Delete the partition(s) you want to be used by your new installation first.

    Some information would be helpful here. What "doesn't work"?
    Since you are currently using GPT partitioning, you'll have to delete all partitions before repartitioning, and then installing Windows.

    Oh! Therein lies the problem. I have all my drivers and other useful stuffs on one of the two primary partitions. I'm trying to do a legacy install but i don't know how to convert only one partition to mbr.
