i have heard gptgen , not sure how reliable it, how can use diskpart in case

hi vgahod,

the diskpart command can achieve goal following steps.

step 1: click "start", , input "diskpart" in search box.
step 2: input "list disk", , select mbr disk want convert typing "select disk x" (x number of mbr disk)
step 3: input "list partition", , select existing partitions , delete of them typing "delete partition x" command.
step 4:: input "convert gpt".

but far know, diskpart command can realize conversion between mbr , gpt great data loss. suggest backup data first.

best regards,

mary
