What do you mean by "from a different hard drive"? How you do the conversion, if the drive you want to convert is not the system drive (boot drive)? This is the question?

Bitlocker is about something else, there is no connection to the conversion. Bitlocker is about encryption of a hard drive.

If you have placed encryption on the drive then that can interfere with converting yes

You are trying to clean (format) the boot disk, just read the error message. And you do not read also our messages.

I'm trying to convert to gpt using mb2gpt , I,m getting errors I don't know what they mean .

That one says mbr2gpt is not recognised

Because the mbr2gpt utility is not part of windows operating system and the system can not find the command/program in the folder you are trying to run it from.

Please read again all our answers from the beginning and try to understand them. It looks like you are ignoring them and you are sending questions that were already answered.

A few days ago, I sent you a few private messages, offering you individual help. From your answers, I understand that you do not have enough knowledge in this field and you shouldn't do this alone.

The private messages were sent on Windows Forums, not to your email which I do not have. We all here try to help, for free, in our free time, but it seems you are not ready to cooperate. You ask questions, we are trying to answer, but some times we need more info in order to be able to help you. If you ignore our questions and answers, then better do it by yourself and don't waste our time.

When I downloaded the Gptgen tool , unzip it click on run as administrator I get a flash of screen as its trying to open then nothing . When I click on recently added theres nothing there .

 

[bochane]

There is a new directory on the first line, named gptgen-1, what is in there?
What is the question? What exactly do you want to know?
