I rarely ever edit anything having to do with UEFI, but I found a situation where I was getting "invalid partition table" on a new Windows 7 installation from DVD.
The problem was that I was booting to the DVD from UEFI and then botting Windows from legacy BIOS (or so I think). When pressing F12 on my Dell Latitude E7240, I got these options:
I was booting to the DVD ROM using "UEFI: HL-DT-ST DVD+/-RW GU60N"
However, presumably when the machine rebooted, it was trying to boot from the legacy hard drive. If I booted to the UEFI hard drive when botting from the UEFI DVD drive, it would work. But if booting to the Internal HDD from the legacy boot, I get "invalid partition table."
That's my theory as to why I was getting "invalid partition table"
Based on a sample size of one, this holds true.
