mbr2gpt Disk Validation Failed
I've been trying to get the mbr2gpt Program to work and no matter what I do it will not work This is the command I try to run mbr2gpt /allowFullOS /disk:1 /validate DISKPART> list disk Di...
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.

I went through all your exchange with salman.
My guess is here is your disk 0 contains the system resevered portion that needs to be with the boot drive, in your case disk 1. You cam see from my screen shots that both my older ssd and new ssd have the system resevered on the same disk as the boot.
Perhaps also try setting the recovery partition as a primary partition or making active or both if one does not work.
I have attached screenshots of my old system ssd which i copied to my new ssd and then i converteded to gpt. So i ran the validation on the old ssd which os still mbr and validation passed.
I have data drives as well and their description does not state they are system as is your case. I also do not have any recovery partitions. I can only assume that might be causing issues as its not a primary partition.
post back of this helped in anyway.

Naeem86 - Funny thing is I figured it out right after posting this. I had to change my boot drive using the command prompt and the Bcdboot command, rebooting and changing my boot drive to boot from the same drive as my OS, good to go.
Once i was booting off the same drive as the OS, Mpt2gpt worked like it should.
So, that would be one more requirement to add besides what is here, your OS and boot have to be on the same physical drive.
- I would use macrium reflect software and move either the boot to os drive or the other way. Make sure to take a back before doing so.
This was you will have both on one drive as opposed to 2. Hi Folks,
I am having this issue and have read all the feedbacks. I am pretty sure the issue is the boot partition is on a different disk then the OS. You can meet all the criteria they are saying but ultimately the boot and OS need to be on one drive it seems. Mine ended up this way after upgrading several times over the years. I didn't realize this was happening. Is there any easy fix? I have this computer setup just like I want it and years getting it this way, hate to have to go back.
