MBR2GPT Disk layout validation failed
Thank you very much for your reply. regarding your questions, I do have an active/boot partition on disk 0. There is the OS on disk 0, I am booting from disk 0 and the OS which is running is also and only on disk 0. The OS is booting just fine, even though the mbr2gpt.exe is telling me no OS found.
After I did some trickery and reenabled a recovery partition. I get the error that the disk layout failed again 😞 Please find screenshots attached. Thank you very much for your kind help and support in this matter. (please see translations for German words on the screenshots)
As I can see from the screenshot, you have more than 3 primary partitions in your disk 0. Unfortunately, MPR2GPT tool doesn't support more than 3 primary partitions. Therefore, you must delete the least important partition after backing up the important data.
Please try this way and let me know your feedback. Thanks.
Hi Stefan_Mocellin,
Please share the latest screenshots from the disk management console, and cover all the disks and partitions. It will be really helpful in order to identify the issues from your partition table.
- Hello, as I have written before, I did remove all but one partition. I deleted all except one partition. Then I used the free space to create only one large drive, which had all the space in it. Then it told me it cannot find a boot partition.
If you need any further information, I will be glad to provice such. Thank you for your help!
