Can DD 11 copy a partition from an MBR disk to a GPT disk?

Thread needs solution

I just built a new computer and it's going to run Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I used DD 11 to initialize some GPT disks, but I also want to copy some partitions (one at a time) from an existing MBR disk to a GPT disk. Can this be done?

I realize that DD 11 allows conversion of MBR into GPT, but I do NOT want to do that, since I'll be returning that MBR disk back to an older system that doesn't support GPT.

Thanks!

Hello Amby,

sorry for the delayed answer.

Acronis Disk Director 11 can copy a volume from your MBR disk to an unallocated space on your GPT disk. While configuring the task you can select the type and the size of the resulting volume. 

Thank you.
