@@MDTechVideos Hello MD tech. M your new subscriber. Please make a video on this topic.
When we mark our drive d or any other driver as active and when you restart your computer it shows orange screen or says "an operating system wasn't found". How can we fix it without getting a bootable pendrive and re-installing windows.
@@Ace-wo6ur just go to your boot screen and set the drive(where you have installed OS) as a default bootable drive.. That's all
@@sailaparvin7690 use free softwares to convert without loosing data.

Watching this video in 2023. And holy hell you deserve a god damn award. I converted my 0 disk from a mbr to a gtp on my desktop which in turn caused me not to be able to launch windows again. Had get a usb to download the windows installer. But the fact that you showed us how to convert a Mbr to a gtp in such a quick, easy and efficient manner is amazing. No other video has come close to this one. Thank you very much.
Dude I was really stressed out that I couldn’t install windows on the hard drive. I’m glad I stumbled upon this video :D
Five years later and the video is still helpful. Thank you 😊
Glad to help.
I spend hours looking for the right video, i tried a lot of options but this one takes only 2 minutes to solve my problem on MBR to GPT. 😊
I was trying to do a clean install of Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and this helped me, I needed a tutorial when I downgraded and now that I'm upgrading again I had to look, this saved me from hours of frustration and regret.
Some people might think that this is a fake comment but it's genuine, thank you for making the tutorial straight to the point. Many fail to do that. Much appreciated.

Glad it helped!
Such a simple fix for a ridiculously complicated problem. Honestly this video is GOLD, thank you very much.
Oh wow. This takes me far back to the 80's, when I worked in DOS
and my computer had 512 kb storage space.
This, which you now taught, is something I have been trying to do for 2 weeks.
Thanks.
From DOS to windows 10?
Look fabulous

SIMPLY amazingly helpful in the shortest straight to the point. thanks very much 😊
Glad it helped!
Thanks for your help. Just to add, I have an old Dell and had to actually hit the FN + SHIFT + F10 to get it to open, and also needed to change from GPT to MBR and your tutorial worked for that as well.
Glad it helped
@@MDTechVideos thank you for this video. @PleaseDoNotLOL (FN + SHIFT + F10) worked for me,. Many thanks once again.
Thaaaanks
Thanks, was hitting the SHOFT + F10, and it wasn't working, but with the FN it worked
Thank u!!
but " clean " mean format my hard disk is there any way to make that without format it , cuz i allready cleaned my local disk C while i was installing window 10 ???
pls help me
Same plz help me if u have done
Same here man
clean means format, if you have an important datas, don't do that
have you solved am stuck i have partition to keep my data
Fairly certain changing the partition type will always wipe the data. That's from my experience atleast.
I'm sure there are methods and tutorials on RUclips on how to extract that data from your hard drive before changing the partition
I was hesitant at the start, but watching it through all made so much sense. Cheers boss for getting this working !
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the straight and quick tutorial :D
Not all heroes wear capes, I've been looking for this solution for hours and you just solved it in 5 min. Thanks man!
You're welcome!
Well, you saved my life here in 2019, thanks man!
You're welcome!
Same with me
You know you can easily convert even if you forgot to during installation
@Abhra Chowdhury It won't erase your data; just look for a proper guide and follow their instructions.
How we can save data which is in other partitions
because this method will formate all partitions
Thanks for your video,it helped me a ton to get windows 11 installed,as windows 10 was still on the mbr partition.
I've been trying to convert ..from...1 month i almost lost hope...but this guy just solved my problem in 5 minutes....i dont comment on videos...but i think this guys amazing keep it up thank u very muh
Glad to hear that
You solved my problem and walked me through it while I was losing my mind with other bad tutorials.... Liked and subscribed you saved me a headache!!!
You're welcome!
The best tutorial - simple, straight to the point and most importantly - it works. Thanks! If anything, a disclaimer that it wipes all your data could be useful
Still works in 2024, trying to replace an old laptop hard drive with a newer one and ran into this issue.
Searched for over an hour for a solution and got it done in less than 5 minutes with your video.
Thank you
I can't tell you many times you have helped me with problems on my pc ... thank you so much and keep up the good work . much love from morocco .❤
Glad to help
i'm a god damn senior software engineer and i had to get to this clip to figure wtf is going on with my new laptop. thanks!
So am I. What a coincidence, they didn't teach us this.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial, not just for the information but also the speed you gave us the information.
Glad to help!
Bro you are the goat I’ve spent months trying to figure this out and this was done in a couple of minutes
Thank you so much for the very detailed and slow pace tutorial... It really helps a lot... I don't normally don't comment but your video is just amazing. Very clear that even kids can understand it. Keep it up!
Glad to help!
convert GPT solved everything that was mistery for more than 3 hours. Thank you!!
I never knew of this, and I've been working with PCs for nearly 30 years. Thanks for the information...it has worked well. Much appreciated.
Glad to help Joe. If you learned something new in a day, it was a good day.
My brother I just got a new job and I promised the guy I’m working for that I could reset his computer and when I came across this issue, I literally started to freak out and panic and you literally solved it in 30 seconds. You are the hero we needed my friend.
You can't imagine how helpful this is after 5 years.
Glad to help.
Dude. I love you for this! Thank you so much for this 5 minutes of knowledge
Holy heck dude, I’m so freaking thankful. This was one of the most frustrating things of all time, you’re a life saver !
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant, I had a feeling this was possible but could not figure out how! Thanks a bunch dude!
Glad to help!
this is the first time any of these videos have actually worked for me, thank you
Glad to help!
Just an FYI, you can wait until you get to 4:47 to see if the drive is already GPT, if not, Shift+F10 works at this point as well. Just click on Refresh after you exit the command prompt and it will show it as available. Another aside, if you're using a USB ISO, make sure you don't accidentally "clean" the USB drive thinking it's a disk or partition :-(
Bro I can't do format it will format all my important files and when I do legacy then boot can't be done
thank you, I was reinstalling windows and I wiped my hard drive before seeing this, and this saved me from having to open it up and remove the drive and connect it to another pc. thanks!
Glad it helped!
thanks for the clear step by step explanation. done and installed windows 10 in my laptop after changing ssd.
Man you are the best thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 I love you man
You're welcome!
Thanks man, this helped me out more than I could explain!
I totally agree 👍
Do i need to disable CSM and enable TPM prior to this? I ask because i dont want to clean my disk if this wont work later on. Ty
Is Windows setup disk written as legacy support? And if it is, when you install windows and convert mbr to gpt, is it converting legacy to UEFI? I bought an ssd and it is not under Uefi boot mode and i want uefi
A little slow at first which made me doubt the quality a bit.. however, your video was very helpful since I needed a quick way to get this done from Windows 10 installer. I'm definitely recommended your video for my less techy friends when they get stuck with this problem and I'm not nearby.
Bonus points for not having annoying music in background.
NOTE: this works great but do not run the "clean" command if you have other partitions in the disk, because it will wipe everything. Make sure you always back up your data.
Cheers!
I lost my all data😭😭😭
would've been fantastic if the tutorial mentioned this before hand.
Damn it happened to me also , I deleted all my data, he should say that in the video, any one see the comment above like it to make it on the top comments.
Even 6 years later you are still such great help
Glad it helped
6 years later and it helped me so much. thanks for that easy to understand video.
Glad it helped!
I AM GOING TO DANCE AT YOUR WEDDING! Thanks for the informative no BS video. I am now subscribed! Also I have red so you should get paid lol
I have a pinned comment for contributions, but either way I am glad I could help. If you are a good dancer and can pay for your airfare and lodging, maybe that can be arranged.
Take my like! Thanks for the help buddy. I almost started crying after hours of searching. Cheers mate
