Karamjit Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 i recently done my HDD from MBR to GPT. and altered setting in BIOS (lagacy with UEFI). i then installed windows 10 64Bit pro. after installation, i saw that my HDD drives are not functioning. i emptied a drive and formated again then it became functional. but i can't format other drives as these are huge in size and data will be lost. moreover when i ran Hirens bootcd then no program showed these partitions functional. help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Old2Remember Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Are the other HDDs (those not functioning) formatted as Dynamic or Basic? A screenshot of your disk Management drives would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A screenshot of your disk Management drives would help.ya ya these drives are formatted in Basic. i tried to convert these basic into Dynamic but was afraid of data loss lying in these drives. any suggestion will be welcomed. but keep in mind one thing......i don't want to lose my data. i have no flash drive to empty my HDD drives.

pr1xsel Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Why not try Acronis Disc director? (I haven't tried if it's compatible with Win10).https://kb.acronis.com/content/16124http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/220816-acronis-disk-director-120-build-3223-bootcd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 12 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As far as I know you only use this format( GPT) for SSD ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghazi Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How many hard drives you have attached to your computer. I think the mbr should work with gpt. I have windows 8.1 pro installed on my laptop with gpt and when I attach portable hard drives having mbr it recognises them without any problem.so should be the case with extra hard drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
