Please assign a drive letter in diskmgmt.msc to the (99 MB) partition to look at the contents of this partition.

S Shenziro Well-known member Joined Jun 12, 2024 Posts 92 Jul 11, 2024 #96 hmm, I took over the servers like this, maybe someone tried converting it once.
Maxstar Windows Update Moderator, Security Analyst Staff member Joined Aug 16, 2015 Posts 13,410 Location The Netherlands Jul 11, 2024 #97 Yes, I suspect the same thing looking at all the screenshots in this thread! What you can try is to use the MBR2GPT tool from my previous post to retry the conversion. And maybe you can update after that?
