I was trying to update my PC to Windows 11 but it required me to convert the drive that contains my OS to GPT. I am trying to convert the drive to GPT so that I can upgrade to Windows 11 without deleting my main Os partition. What am I missing here? The following are infos about the drive and things I've tried:
Drive is about 2TB
In Wndows 10:
Disk Management shows 3 partitions
System Reserved | 100 MB NTFS | Healthy (system, active, primary)
C: | 1906 GB NTFS | Healthy(Boot, page file, crash dump, logical drive)
1.02 GB NTFS | Healthy (Logical Drive)
When I ran the following,
MBR2GPT /CONVERT /ALLOWFULL0S /DISK:1
output:
Disk layout validation failed for disk 1
I checked the "setuperr" file in my main Os Windows Folder and saw "ValidateLayout: Unrecognized partition found, index 1".
Diskpart shows 4 partitions
DISKPART> SEL DISK 1
Disk 1 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> LIST PART
Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 100 MB 1024 KB
Partition 0 Extended 1907 GB 101 MB
Partition 2 Logical 1906 GB 102 MB
Partition 3 Logical 1047 MB 1906 GB
DISKPART> SEL PART 0
Partition 0 is now the selected partition.
DISKPART> DET PART
Partition 0
Type : 0F
Hidden: No
Active: No
Offset in Bytes: 106930688
SEL PART 0
DELETE PART
> Got error
Virtual Disk Service error:
The extended partition is not empty.
DELETE PART OVERRIDE shows the same error as "DELETE"
I also tried all previous commands while booted with a windows 10 boot disc
