Triple Booting Windows 8 on Second Hard Disk

Hi all,


I have an Early 2011, 15 inch MBP and want to dual boot Windows 8 and Mountain Lion. Currently I have a 750GB HDD installed and have just recently replaced my SuperDrive with a 256GB SSD.


The 750GB HDD is partitioned so that Windows 7 takes up 512GB and Mountain Lion has the rest and I would like to install Windows 8 to the SSD so I can migrate files across from Windows 7 at my leisure.


The problem is Windows 8 is giving me an error as follows:


"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style"


Is there a way I can triple boot? If not how can I set up my disks so that Windows 8 runs on the SSD and Mountain Lion on the HDD?


Cheers,


Carl
