Issue Switching SSD from MBR to GPT with Diskgenius
Asked by
TechWhiz42
I recently cloned an SSD for my new computer using Diskgenius, but I'm encountering an issue when attempting to change the format from MBR to GPT. After clicking 'Save', I get an error message saying, 'The ending parameters overflow.' I've included a screenshot for reference, showing that OS E is the drive I'm trying to convert. I'm running Windows 10. I had to repost this because my last attempt got deleted after I added more details.

I've never used Diskgenius for switching MBR to GPT. It’s often easier to use built-in Windows tools for this, which tend to work without any issues. You might want to check out Microsoft's guide on the process.

Have you tried reaching out in any forums dedicated to Diskgenius? If not, maybe consider doing a clean install of Windows as an alternative, though I understand you prefer cloning over that option.
TechWhiz42: I couldn't find a specific Diskgenius sub, and I prefer cloning since I've done it smoothly in the past. It's frustrating that this time it's giving me trouble.
