I'm having the same problem, as I understand the original report:
I installed Win7 on a GPT drive and tried to install wheezy, which only saw a
blank hard drive (using both the KDE live disk and the netinstall iso in
expert mode).
I just went ahead and booted Knoppix to see if I could see a problem. gdisk on
the hard drive tells me that there are both a valid MBR and GPT.
To reproduce (hopefully), install win7 on a GPT disk (which came with the win8
computer) and look at the mess it produces...

PS: Since I actually want to use this system, I'm switching to MBR only now,
so I won't be able to do any more tests on the actual hardware.
