  1. MBR virus


    Hi. My system has been infected with MBR:Backboot-G [Rtk] virus. Malwarebytes is unable to detect it. Avast is but is unable to remove/repair it. I have tried Farbar, Spy hunter 5 and RogueKiller. Nothing seems to be working, I have also tried Windows Defender on Offline Mode. Kindly help me in removing this. Thank you.

    :)

  3. 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.

  4. MBR virus

    Windows 10 & 7th gen Intel Core processors in UEFI mode running on MBR partitions

    Hi John,

    MBR partition is for older laptops but there's a workaround for it. It is to convert MBR to GPT. In this case, you can use a disk partition management. Try these steps:

    • Click "Start Menu" > input "diskpart" in the search box and press "Enter" > Click "Yes" to open command prompt.
    • Type "list disk" and press "Enter".
    • Type "select disk n" and press "Enter". n is the number of the disk you want to convert. (take "Disk 1" for example)
    • Input "clean" and press "Enter" to delete all partitions or volumes on the selected disk.
    • Type "convert mbr" and press "Enter" to complete the conversion from GPT to MBR format.

    Inform us for any updates regarding your issue.
