AMAZING i was loosing my mind going through so many videos and realised you had the answer for me within the first few seconds of the video, i was starting to be convinced i would not be able to convert my disk, thanks bro
Great video, couldn't thank you enough! One small thing for the second method: In my case, I also needed to set the newly created partition E as active, which was as simple as right-clicking it and then selecting "Mark Partition as Active"
I've been looking for this for 2 days! Thank you so much my issue was the boot and system were on two different drives. This worked great. No more errors!
Thanks for the simple explanations. Thousands of other articles, none have this detail. I'm in a situation like your first scenario. Question (I'm hoping you can help with): Could I shrink the existing partition on the data disk, create a boot partition on it, convert and then revert my boot partition back? Without a restart, preferably?
I'm so confused. I removed the other drives I had plugged in, just in case, I setup a partition, BCD shows on it, it's active - but now I have zero other drives except Disk 0 and I'm still getting the error.

Thank you! I do have one question. After I have made the system partition file and inactivated the older one, will this affect booting into Windows? Do I need to change anything in the BIOS for it to successfully boot after the restart or will it boot into Windows like normal?
Hi, I was shrinking my C volume and halfway I had power outage so my laptop went off. When power came back ON I started my computer, everything seemed normal and my C drive showed same memory space available as it had before I tried shrinking it the first time but when I tried to continue shrinking my C volume I got this error "There is not enough space available to complete this operation." I have 416GB available and I want to shrink out 120GB

Hi I did all your instructions and everything worked perfectly. Now I have some questions, how do you delete de boot partition we created to run mbr2gpt? do we have to clear it first? and secondly, do we have to reactivate the partition using diskpart? what would be the command for it? thanks!
