- I Had the same error while trying to convert my mbr hard disk to gpt.
what I did for getting success was the following:
1.- checking my partitions in computer management, I saw my two partitions (system reserved and OS ) were primary partitions, but data partition Or D: (as I use to call it) was in logical partition state.
2.- I installed Minitool Partition Wizard and converted logical partition to primary.

Hope you Found this helpful.
