    I converter my boot mode to GPT from MBR mode. But as there is no option for selecting UEFI on board in bios. I'm not able to boot. Is it possible if i can convert back to MBR mode without losing my data .

    Computer Not Booting After Converting MBR to GPT

    i had recently built my new pc with 4gb ram and an i3 3240 cpu and Asus p8h61 mx motherboard with windows 7. But when i converted my hard disk from MBR to GPT my computer is not booting and there is just a blinking underscore on top left corner. When my computer first came it was in GPT format. after which i wanted to re install the windows 7 but it asked for mbr format so i Converted it succesfully to mbr through easeus partition . after i installed the windows i wanted to convert it back to gpt which was succesful but a blinking underscore is coming. I will be thankful if there is a fix for that.

    plus. i cant find any other option related to uefi in the bios

    Convert Windows 10 MBR to GPT (UEFI)?

    In reviewing my Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) system I noted that the Secure Boot Status is showing as "unsupported". Investigating further, it appears either the GPT partition for booting using UEFI (is Secure Boot) has become corrupt or my installation was
    never installed for Secure Boot. My Windows 10 install is an auto-upgrade from a Windows 8.1 install.

    Is there a way to convert the MBR to GPT without doing a fresh install? I do have a USB recovery drive built at a point I believe I had indications Windows was booting from a GPT (UEFI) partition. In fact, the USB recovery drive shows as being a UEFI drive.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    convert MBR to GPT disk

    convert mbr to gpt

    There is a way to convert mbr to gpt without data loss. clean command deletes all datas inside the disk, so dont use this command

    boot with windows dvd , and get into command prompt

    type diskpart , find the disk number , which is need to convert mbr to gpt

    say disk number is 0

    exit diskpart

    type below command in command prompt

    mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0

    wait for some minutes to complete , once you get commpleted successfuly means, exit and close ,

    shutdown the pc , remove windows dvd

    important

    After the disk has been converted to GPT partition style, the firmware must be reconfigured to boot in UEFI mode.


    Make sure that your device supports UEFI before attempting to convert the disk.
