3 thoughts on “How to Restore MBR System Image to GPT Disk”
Hey thanks for the great post…Ive been scouring the internet for ways to do what I'm trying to do, and this is yet another method…This could be it….First off, forgive me, I'm new to this process…I'm looking to basically clone my MBR C drive, to a bootable C drive GPT formatted…Switch from legacy to UEFI on my HP 6550b, then have a GPT based hard drive from then on, to which I want to add a UBUNTU partition…Cloning a GPT windows drive from MBR is in essence, what you're doing here right? Once again, forgive my ignorance…
Has anyone moving windows 7 from mbr to gpt tried this…
1) make a usb of win 7 using RUFUS in usb gpt mode 2) install 7 from gpt usb to the ssd as gpt 3) boot in to a tool like disk director and delete the new windows c partition from the new install 4) use disk director to copy the windows c partition from the old mbr drive to the new gpt drive
Good work But, is the hardware dissimilar or not? If hardware is dissimilar you can use universal restore in "AOMEI Backupper" or "Acronis Universal Restore" or "Macrium Reflect" and etc. Thanks
