  1. Would Logical partition fail if the primary partition fails?


    Hello,


    I have my HDD now in MBR format and I tried to convert it to GPT but mbr2gpt didn't work, I get fail to validate disk every time and hence can't convert to GPT.


    It's OK, but now I divided my HDD into 5 partitions just for more sense to category of files, each in a specific partition; like, games, programs and personal.


    But I got 2 primary and 2 logical drives.


    My question, is in case if one of the primary drives failed. Would the related logical partition fail too ? Because what I understood is that logical partition is just an extent of the primary partition that next to it.

    :)

  3. Would Logical partition fail if the primary partition fails?

    For example, if E: fails, would the next partitions F: and G: fail too ?


    Would Logical partition fail if the primary partition fails? 4c2afb80-0e91-4565-b608-76022aea51da?upload=true.png


    Another question, are F: and G: related internally to F: ?

    What does logical partition mean ?

    Would Logical partition fail if the primary partition fails?

    Yep! Thanks.

    My concern is that partitions in light blue would fail if the basic dark partition fails. Because my idea is partitions in light blue are connected internally to the one in dark blue.
