This feature could help you convert a disk with data into GPT or MBR style without data loss. Usually, here are two cases that you need to do this conversion:
- Owing to MBR disk could only support using up to 2TB disk size, if you have a disk larger than 2TB size, the rest of the disk space could not be used unless you convert it to GPT style;
- Generally speaking, when you encounter "GPT protective partition" that could not be accessed by XP 32-bit Version or other low-level OS, you could convert it to MBR disk.
To convert a disk to MBR/GPT disk
- Select the disk to convert;
- Right click the disk and select Convert to GPT/MBR Disk;
- Confirm your operation, by clicking "OK" to continue;
- Click Apply button on the toolbar to commit the changes.
Note:
- For a less than 2TB GPT disk, you can only convert 4 partitions at most to MBR disk. Because of the limit of MBR disk only support 4 primary partitions. If the number of partitions is more than 4, you'll need to adjust them to meet this condition.
- For a system or boot disk, before converting it to GPT disk, we suggest that you make sure whether your motherboard supports EFI/UEFI boot or not, if does not support, please don't convert it to GPT disk.
