How to convert MBR to GPT partition mode partition
How to convert MBR disk to GPT partitioned disk partition, buy a new 3TB hard drive, and install and initialize the disk MBR partition style when choosing findings can not support 3TB hard disk partition, how do I choose to initialize the hard disk partition GPT again?
There will be in the form of a disk partition MBR (Master Boot Record) of the disk into a GPT partition style two ways, the first one that comes through the system command prompt can be done, and the second is to use a third-party software, the following describes two were made:
Important: Before proceeding, back up the data on your hard disk.
NO1.Command method:
list volume      Displays a list of basic and dynamic volumes on all disks.
select volume    Selects the specified volume and shifts the focus, where n is the volume number. If you do not specify a volume, the select command lists the current volume with focus. You can specify the volume by number, drive letter or mount point path. On a basic disk, selecting a volume also gives the corresponding partition focus.
delete volume    Deletes the selected volume. You can not delete the system volume, boot volume, or any volume that contains the active paging file or crash dump (memory dump).
list disk         To display list of disks and related information, such as size, the amount of free space, disk is a basic or dynamic disk, and the disk uses the master boot record (MBR) or GUID partition table (GPT) partition style. Marked with an asterisk (*) in the disk that has focus.
select diskn      Selects the specified disk and shifts the focus, where n is the disk number.
convert gpt      With the master boot record (MBR) basic disk partition blank forms convert GUID partition table (GPT) disk partition basic form.
Open a command prompt, type diskpart prompt, enter diskpart. Win7 / Vista users can enter diskpart Enter directly in the Start menu search box to open the diskpart prompt.
In the diskpart prompt, enter the list volume lists all volumes, use select volume move the focus to the corresponding volumes on the hard disk, such as: select volume G (G is on a hard disk drive), and then perform the delete volume to the current delete the selected volume, select the volume and delete duplicate volume operation until delete all volumes on the hard disk.
All volumes on the hard disk are deleted after use list disk lists all the disks in the computer, and then use the select disk command to select the hard disk, you can convert gpt final implementation.
NO2.Third-party software method, using this software on DiskGenius
After selecting the hard disk Click the Start menu in the “hard”, which one is the “Convert GUID partition table type mode.”
Note: If there is a disk data, the operation may result in loss of data, to stress again, before any disk operations back up data.
