Tools Using GParted to convert GPT to MBR without access to an OS

I wiped my Windows 8 thinking I could install Win7Windows 7 x86 but I can't because the disk is GPT. I need to convert to MBR. Is there a tool

I'm trying to do that? Maybe I wrong:use GParted to convert to MBR but it seems like GParted can only do the opposite?

updated

I ended up using Rod Smith's GParted solution. But I think either solution will work. Can GParted be made to convert to MBR?
