F!-up partition, mbr to GPT
by Basher52 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WJY1)
Hi y'all.
I'm sorry to ask this here as I got a question about win10 and GPT partition.
I wanted to reinstall win10 on a machine but it wouldn't create a partition as it said that the disk was MBR and not GPT, which is kinda weird since the same disk just had win10 on it.
I got 3 partitions on this SSD, one is the boot disk with the OS, the other two, 'temp' and 'data' and in these there are data I really wanna recover.
I read a lot about how to convert MGR to GPT without deleting data on the other partitions I got on that disk so at last I tried 'gdisk' on /dev/sdc but that seemed to remove the other two partitions.
If there is a chance to recover the data on those other two partitions I'd be really happy.
I know Linux can do this as is can do almost anything :)
but I can't seem to find a clear answer to it.
Does anyone in here know how to fix this issue?
