bought a rog hero today arrived tried to do a fresh install of windows 8 and i boot into the usb which the installer is on btw its a legit bought version of windows 8 and it comes up with all these bs messages on the page which asks which drive you want to install windows on.

 windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an MBR partition table. on efi systems, windows can only be installed to gpt disks! WTF HELLP

No, I use two 3K's in RAID 0 on that board no problem. Find "ASUS Secure SSD Erase" somewhere in bios and use it to format the SSD, it should work fine then.
