    You'll need to run MiniTool Partition Wizard from the CD. Delete all partitions because the disk needs to be entirely unallocated. Then you can re-initialize the disk to MBR.

    The .ZIP file I link you to contains both the x86 and x64 versions of the ISO. Burn whichever one you need, make sure your Boot Order is set for CD/DVD first and boot from the CD you burned.
