The program can only process dynamic disks containing solid simple volumes (without
extension).
Converting GPT to Basic MBR
The program allows you to convert a basic or a dynamic GPT disk containing simple volumes into a basic MBR disk while
keeping its contents intact.
In order to convert a basic or a dynamic GPT disk into a basic MBR disk you should take the following steps:
Launcher
1. Select a basic or a dynamic GPT disk containing simple volumes on the Disk Map.
2. Call the Convert to Basic MBR Hard Disk dialog selecting in the Main Menu: Hard Disk > Convert to Basic MBR
Hard Disk…
3. Set the required number of primary partitions if necessary. According to the DOS partitioning scheme a hard
disk can have up to four Primary partitions. If there is an Extended partition on the disk, only three primary
partitions are allowed. That is why if a GPT disk contains several volumes the program enables to choose the
number of primary partitions. The rest of them if any will automatically be converted to logical disks within the
Extended partition.
