You're setting up a hybrid setup with Windows 7, Linux Mint, Parrot OS, and Tails. You're currently facing issues installing Windows to a partition and need guidance on creating the correct partition table in GParted. Make sure you're targeting the correct drive—your HARDDRIVE 240 GB SSD should be used for Windows installation, while the Linux and Tails systems will run on separate partitions.
The 240GB space will be limited across four operating systems. Let me know if you have an extra drive for storage. Note: I’m unsure if you can support that many partitions, as Windows only allows three by default.
I'm testing the 240 SSD now and using the 525 for additional storage.
You may need to rely on an MBR partition disc since Windows 7 fails to boot using the GPT partition map.
Since it wasn't mentioned, the purpose of this setup isn't clear. It seems you're looking to run a 4-way boot with two different Linux distros for testing. You might be curious about their uses or just want to understand what they're for. This would simplify things if you had Windows 7 and Linux Mint installed. Also, GPT works well with Windows 7 if you use the SP1 install disk.
