    mbr gpt partition help


    hello guys I need help, in windows 10 I converted the ssd disk with mbr partition to gpt using the mbr2gpt / convert command from cmd. Everything works perfect and windows works in uefi mode.
    but it turns out that I want to install on another partition of another hard drive (HDD mbr ntfs) windows 7 and during installation it tells me that windows cannot be installed on the selected partition and before the conversion I could install it.
    The first thing I thought is to convert the ssd to mbr again, with minitool partition wizard but in the attempt I get a sign saying that the disk contains system partitions and could be unbooteable.
    also what I have set is that since I made the gpt convertion I get on the disk ssd 2 more partitions:
    efi system partition
    OEM partition (System Reserved)
    I comment that I tried all the options from the bios and nothing worked for which I ask for your help to be able to also install the windows 7 on the other hard disk hdd as I did before,
    having both operating systems. thanks all i hope your help...

    :)

  2. clone MBR HD to bootable GPT partition?

    Hi,

    1. You cannot convert mbr to gpt without data loss. otherwise, you can follow directions here:

    FROM WINDOWS RECOVERY CONSOLE:

    To change a master boot record disk into a GUID partition table disk using a command line


    • Back up or move the data on the basic master boot record (MBR) disk you want to convert into a GUID partition table (GPT) disk.

    • Open an elevated command prompt (right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator) and type diskpart. If the disk does not contain any partitions or volumes, skip to step 6.

    • At the DISKPART prompt, type list disk. Make note of the disk number you want to convert.

    • At the DISKPART prompt, type select disk <disknumber>.

    • At the DISKPART prompt, type clean.

    2. I'd suggest converting your vista drive to a virtual machine, load that up on your windows 10 system and use a program like virtualbox to run it.
