->Windows and most Linux distributions have their own prohibitions against 
installing to MBR disks. Your description is a little unclear, but you're 
probably running into this issue.yh
Yh, I wanted to install efi boot loader in mbr partion, and test to boot mbr by 
ovmf in xen4.5.
I failed to install guest os Suse11 sp3,or windows 2008 r2 64, on mbr 
partition, beause the partition is seted gpt after os os install completely.

Now I did't find another way to install efi-mod boot loader in mbr partion 
instead of install guest os directly.

->Earlier, you wrote:
->> I can’t convert mbr to gpt,

->Why not? The OS installer should permit you to do this, although in some 
cases you'll need to jump through some hoops to do it. (Note that this may 
destroy other OSes already installed to ->the disk, or at least render them 
unbootable until an EFI-mode boot loader is installed.)
