When i try to run mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS i get the following output MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 0MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of diskMBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytesDisk layout validation failed for disk 0 I read a bit about it, and it seems to not work because disk 0 isnt a system disk, but in my case it is. I am using build 1709

Rasel2500 has provided an answer that most people - including most in this thread (from everything I've read in the entire thread) - overlooked.Watching the video provided a VERY good answer that the video just glossed over...even though the person in the video just quickly mentioned the logs and where to find them.Here's the video he posted - Watch this video. https://youtu.be/ytRJhwL6vAgRead the log reports "after" running \Windows\system32>mbr2gpt /validate /allowfullos in the command prompt as admin.What "I" found was in the last entry in the log found in C:\Windows\setupact.logRun mbr2gpt validate again and read the "last" entry, the "last" line in that entry. Here was the entry I found in the last line the last time I got the failure error:ValidateLayout: Last partition too close to the end of the disk. Should end at offset 1000204869120 or below, found at 1000204886016What that's saying is the third partition I have was too close to the end of the drive and the size of the volume (partition) needed to be reduced.I calculated the difference between what was the expected end ("should end at") and the actual end of the partition. Using that number I used "Disk Management" in Win 10 to "Shrink Volume" by the amount of the "difference" between the 2 numbers. (In my case, I needed to shrink the volume by 16,896 MB.)After I shrank the volume by the specific difference between the 2 log numbers, I ran mbr2gpt /validate one more time.It passed!I was then able to use mbr2gpt /convert and the conversion worked!Nothing was lost (other than a lot of hair), and I checked the system with PC Health and got confirmation - the system requirements for Windows 11 are now met! I can install 11...whenever it's rolled out to my computer...The "secret" to watching the video wasn't all the steps. The secret was that the video shows you how to look at the log files and see "why" the error message appears, but the guy in the video didn't even say that - he just turned a light bulb on in my head that said to "check the logs".Check your log entries!Every time you run mbr2gpt it's logged. Everything that happens when you run that command is detailed in the log.Comply with the details in the log to correct the error and you are then ready to run mbr2gpt successfully!Thanks Microsoft for letting us all know there is a critical step to get answers about why our system does not meet the Win 11 requirements.It's too bad we all have to spend an inordinate amount of time jumping through these hoops. But now you have a "great" way to find a resolve.Your system may have a different reason the validation failed, but looking at the log entries will tell you the answer to your error.I hope this makes a lot of people smile after all the frustration they've had.

I was facing similar problem as my disk partition was in MBR format but I need it to be GPT format.Disk validation failed.Easiest way is solve this problem is as given below.Go to Disk Manager -> Select disk (0 or 1 ) you want convert and select the partition eg. C -DriveRight click --> Shrink the disk and put shrink value to 200MB ->OKGo to CMD with admin mode run the below commandmbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS -> EnterValidation is successRun below command to convertmbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOSDisk will be converted to GPTGo to BIOS and change Legacy to UEFI mode and change boot sequenceYour system will boot with mfg logoNO Data loss

Aaron B Please go throw the below steps: There should be a maximum of three primary partitions in the MBR partition table, including 100MB system partition as mentioned below:1. (System, Active, Primary Partition)2. C: (Boot, Page File, Cash Dumps, Primary Partition)3. 😧 (Primary Partition)You should not have any extended/logical partition, all three partitions must be primary partitions.If you have more than three partitions, you must delete the least important partitions after backing up the important data.I have done it successfully (Screenshot Attached)mbr2gpt

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?

Oddly, apparently it worked I began getting this error after the MBR had been converted. When I checked in disk management the volume partition style was was GPT.

The MBR2GPT tool requires that the disk's partition layout meets specific requirements for the conversion to be successful. For example, there should be enough space at the beginning and end of the disk for the necessary GPT partitions. If the existing partitions do not meet these requirements, the conversion can fail.

Have you tried to update your Win10 to 22H2 then retry it?

Aaron B I also have this problem when trying to convert and don't know what to do. I'm not that much of a techy so I don't want to mess anything up, Is anyone able to help? here's what my Disk Management looks like and the error i get in the command prompt.

Disk Management:
Error: MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 1
MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk
MBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytes

Aaron BLook at your "logs". That will tell you where the disk needs space. Refer to the previous page with all the instructions, where many people found the instructions worked perfectly for their situation too.

The responses from MBR2GPT don't provide the information you need to remedy the drive / space. The initial response from running the command only provides information in the "log" that will help. Review the log that corresponds with the time and dated you ran the last test.
The log will provide specific information about "why" the test failed, and it's usually because there is not enough space either in the beginning of the disk or at the end of the disk. Either way, the "volume" needs to be reduced. Once you do the "Shrink", you will need to run the MBR2GPT test again.

If the test tells you the drive still does not pass, look at the log again and see "why".
The point is this. It's the "log" that provides enough detail for you to know how to resolve the issue. Then refer to the previous page where I detailed the instructions of how to make the drive compliant and you should be good to go.

hey,
Perhaps you could create a backup image of your OS drivehttps://pokkesaves.net/The conversion shouldn't be affected by your recovery drive. The recovery partition only serves as a backup if your boot drive becomes corrupted.

Last but not least, an x86 (32-bit) WinPE ISO creation script / batch file for MBR2GPT tasks, or other things like that. These all use the latest ADK. I also did not find any big issues so far. For the ARM / ARM64 images, there was only a single bootloader available unfortunately (which probably doesn't matter.) This seems like a recurring issue btw, which is why it may look like I'm necroing an old post (I'm just updating this to make the same problem a lot easier to solve in 2022.) This and the 64-bit one both have MBR and UEFI bootloaders on the same image. There is only a choice of UEFI with the ARM / ARM64 ones anyways. I would've customized them in the same way, but I don't think that even matters, given ARM PCs and embedded boards are relatively new. There would be no BSP files (Board Support Package files,) anyways if it didn't support it to begin with, so you would already KNOW what you were installing this on before you started (typically it's a tablet, a small server board, HTPC, or some type of newer SBC / Single Board Computer.) Feel free to edit these to your liking (add cumulative updates, power profiles and whatnot, etc.)

Here's a batch file I wrote that creates WinPE Installation media utilizing the latest Win11 ADK (which is very useful if you have to run MBR2GPT,) on your computer. You can also https://rufus.ie/downloads/ to use the ISO image created with this script to make a bootable USB drive with WinPE on it:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
REM NOTE: This could ONLY work when the ADK with the WinPE addon is ALREADY installed, and this batch file is run from the environment itself.
REM NOTE: Some of the syntax / arguments have to be changed, such as the path for the USB Drive (if this is going to work properly.)

REM NOTE: These 3 lines below show how to INSTALL the ADK and WinPE Addon first ->
