Need to covert MBR to GPT without losing data? heres how. Drop us a LIKE 👍
I get this:
C:WINDOWSsystem32>mbr2gpt /validate /disk:1 /allowFullOS
MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 1
MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk
MBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytes
Disk layout validation failed for disk 1
What does that mean? What should I do?
so what do i click on the website to download it?
No wonder you have 700,000+ subs. You saved my bacon.
AWESOME!!!!
Do I need to convert all my MBR drives to GPT or only the one that has my OS on it? I plan to use UEFI so I can use resize bar/smart access memory.
The best video out there on how to convert from mbr to gpt. Thanks!
Really nice clear explanation. Many thanks.
Thank you so much sir ❤️
What a lifesaver seriously detailed and precise thank you so much
Thank you so much… dude it worked and I am now upgrading to windows 11
Huge respect man!
Lifesaver honestly
Straight to the point, and clearly as possible. Many thanks
ope doesent work says error. thanks for nothing.
nope doesent work says error. thanks for nothing.
Why can't Microsoft simply add an option in the Windows 11 installer to automatically do this conversion?
You my friend are a Saint. Thank you!!!
Windows is really sometimes really difficult xD. But your Video was so useful to me.. Finally I can update my Windows xD Thank you so much mate !
Thanks bro!!!
perfect thanks
I actually blundered into this fantastic tutorial 3 months too late. My gaming PC died and due to other issues I wound up with a "refurbished" Dell Optima 9010 that was setup to run in "Legacy" mode. It has Win 10, a SSD and an HDD (2 tb) so I decided to use it for gaming…..
When I installed a video card is when the problem was apparent.
I did manage to convert it, but I did it the hard way, and made another partition in the SSD "C:" drive. After changing the boot sequence to UEFI I was able use this PC for gaming.
Very clear, very concise, I certainly wish I had seen this before I went through all the hell I went through….
100/10 amazing video thank you so much ive been trying to enable resizable bar for months and this finally helped me do it. Wonderful video super clear and straight to the point.
Thanks for the video, this was very helpful! I had a little trouble finding the boot mode option for UEFI on my motherboard. Turns out, on my motherboard (Asrock x79 Extreme 6) you need to change the option Fast Boot> Ultra Fast. Hopefully this helps someone else.
This will erase everything on C and D drive? 🥺
When I changed to uefi in the bios it made my pc very slow. How do I change this back the firmware. I tried to switch to uefi to uefi legacy this that the one i had befor. I tried restting the bios to normal stilll the same
Do I need to reset my pc
My is showing Error:0x514 after putting command mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS , So can you tell how to solve
bro u saved my life once again i thought i would have to upgrade my mobo thanks bro i really mean it
Thank you this worked wonderfully 😊
Thanks!
"Disk layout validation failed for disk 1" anybody know where to go from this error?
Aaaaah thank you so MUCH! Finally I can use AMD SAM. A lot easier to follow video and actually useful, compared to Microsoft's "tutorial" on MBR2GPT.exe.
Thank you. I have been upgrading older MBT systems with new motherboards that only support EUFI and spent days reinstalling windows and program files. I can't believe this 2 minute fix not only exists, but was already located in my Windows directory. I watched a dozen YT videos telling me that this could not be done without having to re-format drives… WOW!
I did everything but now my local disk still doesn’t work in uefi mode and now I can even open it in csm I need help badly
Question sir…..i have more than 1 drive in my system, do i need to covert all drives to GPT? OR just my drive with the OS on it? Thanks.
Hello.
I would also need to convert the second D drive (without OS) to GPT. Possible?
Thank you!
What happens if i reset my windows does the gpt partitiion will be remove?
What a legend sub from me
Thank you For Helping ….. i have been searching for this video.
Thank you very much, this problem p**sed me off 😄
Thank you so much!
Very easy to follow tutorial, thanks!
What if there is no choice for UEFI in BIOS?
Is it possible to have GPT with legacy BIOS maybe using a different boot scheme?
…but what happens when it states: "Disk layout validation failed"?
Thank you!
Thank you man you are awesome
