Here is an easy fix it has worked for me every time. In the below example vol 2 was my boot drive:
DISKPART
list vol
sel vol 2
shrink desired=500
Reboot, then run the validation check again.
You should no longer have an issue and should now be able to /convert. :)

Does this format partition and delete all data from it?
