Cannot convert GPT to MBR.

Hi Michael,



I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

This method you have to backup all your data and delete all partitions and volumes. Then use the
DISKPART command.

• Open command prompt and type in DISKPART and press Enter
• Then type in list disk (Note down the number of disk you want to convert to GPT)
• Then type in select disk number of disk
• Finally type in convert gpt.

Hope the information helps. Do reply if you need further assistance.

You need your install media (USB drive is easiest) to be formatted for GPT/UEFI. I find the Rufus utility extremely for formatting and preparing my windows install media.

 

Hard Disk Converted to GPT format

I have DELL inspiron 5558 With windwos 8.1 and upgraded to windows 10.


Recently i wanted windows 7 and for that i shrink my E drive and from DVD tried to install Windows 7 on that 50 GB unallocated space. But it was showing me that you cant install OS on Windows Cannot be Installed to Disk 0 Partition 7.


I have followed the solution on internet and step in it. Used Dispart command On SHIFT + F10 on Boot screen. and first


Selected the Disk and Then Cleaned it. Then i converted it to GPT using convert gpt and then exit


They suddenly i realized that it is showing me 931 Gb unallocated space. So for DATA sake i stopped right their and done nothing further that point.


Please if anybody have solution to it... Please suggest me and I want my data back from those partitions before conversion. Help me!
