Mar 1, 2015 8:19 PM in response to frankywashereby Loner T,This is what I would suggest.
1. Erase disk1. It currently has a NTFS partition and a HFS partition. Make it a MBR only disk by formatting it as a FAT32 disk.
2. Use BCA to carve out a Windows partition from this disk of the size you want. The remainder will stay FAT.
3. Install Windows on this partition. Once you have Windows functional, you can leave the second part as FAT, if you want it shared between OS X and Windows. For Windows exclusive news, convert it to NTFS. It can still be read by OS X.
If you run into any issues, please see Mac Pro specific parts in Frequently Asked Questions about installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp - Apple Support.
If you have partitioning problems, post back.
Even though you do not have a Fusion drive, you have two disks and one is a CoreStorage volume (used to support a Fusion drive also), so you may want to look at Macs with Fusion drive: How to find BOOTCAMP partition in Windows installer - Apple Support.

Mar 1, 2015 8:28 PM in response to Loner Tby frankywashere,Hey Loner,
I've done that, but when I boot into Windows to install, it won't let me install because it says the drive is "GPT style" and even when I reformat it, within the windows installer, it gives me "0x80070057" error.

Mar 2, 2015 4:10 AM in response to frankywashereby Loner T,This screen does not seem correct. If Disk1 is the 750GB drive, why is the size of Disk1 Partition 1 about 1200GB and you have Disk1 Partition 2 as 197GB. Is this the correct drive for Windows. OS X can re-number disks dynamically, so disk0 and disk1 may be in different order, but the designated Windows disk should be the 750GB disk. Do you have any external storage connected to the MP? If yes, please disconnect it and try again.
