mbr2gpt on data disk

Copper Contributor

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to convert my data disk from having a MBR to GPT, but mbr2gpt tells me that it doesn't find any OS on the disk (which is right, obviously, since Windows is installed on another disk...).

Is there a chance to force the conversion without having an OS installed? Maybe with some undocumented switch or something?
