mbr2gpt Disk Validation Failed
I mean you can see in the screenshot I provided that I only have 2 partitions. Maybe you didn't see my screenshot? So your issue does not apply to me. I have no logical partitions, again the screenshot I posted shows this.
So I'm not sure if I'm missing something or you didn't look at my screenshot?
Here I reposted the screenshot in case maybe you couldn't see it.
As I can see from the screenshot you shared, I can't see an Active partition on disk1. There is one more condition from prerequisites as below:
- One primary partition must be active, try to activate your first partition (c:) from disk 1.
I am sharing two screenshots, before and after the active partition.

As per above screenshot, mbr2gpt tool required the OS partition as mentioned in Microsoft's official document as below:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/mbr-to-gpt#disk-prerequisites- The above screenshot shows that Disk 1 is my primary partition, it contains the OS, there is no logical partition, there is only 2 partitions on that disk and the partition is active.
I've read the documentation. I do not see anything I am doing that does not match the documentation.
Apologies if I am missing something obvious but it would be helpful to me if you can point to something I am doing wrong. No need to post the documents I've read before.
