  1. MBR2GPT.EXE: can the new partition be spliced back together with the original one?


    Hi! The command mbr2gpt/convert/allowFullOS just successfully converted my SSD from MBR to GPT, but it also created a new partition, with a new letter and everything else. Now, in order to tidy up the "My Computer" main folder, can I safely splice them back together in Disk Management? Thanks!Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LXSSD: Samsung 850 PROOperating system: Windows 10 Pro 64 bitFrom my understanding, the reason why a new partition was created is that I didn't perform MBR2GPT.EXE in Windows PE but, rather, in the full Windows environment, am I right? In this case, it seems to me that the creati

  2. MBR2GPT

    I also think so.

    Windows upgrade 1903 automatically created a 450 mb recovery partition which I had to delete as mbr2gpt don't work with more than 3 primary partition.

    So, do I need to create a recovery partition now to get mbr2gpt work?

    I have already tried what you told. It says something like "can't enable win re service "

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    MBR2GPT.EXE: can the new partition be spliced back together with the original one?

    Splice Desktop App not working

    Hi,

    I am trying to run a desktop app called splice,

    I have installed the app and that the installation seems to work fine, the problem comes when I try and run the app. On opening the app a blank white box pops up and doesn't disappear, the app never opens but the Splice app icon appears in the icon box and
    the app appears to be running but not displaying.

    I have spoken to the team at Splice and tried everything that they have suggested with no luck, I think this is more of a Windows 10 problem then a Splice app problem. I have tried the following: Uninstalling and installing the app again, restarting my pc
    several times, turning off my computer security and firewall will trying to run the app, checking for windows updates and still nothing.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,

    Thanks,

    Alex,
