How to Convert from GPT to MBR?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

Does True Image 2016 support to convert from GPT to MBR layout without losing data? I try to clone a disk with GPT layout to a new disk, but find there are no options for me to change the layout of the new disk to MBR.

If True Image 2016 cannot do, will Windows be able to do such a task? Or any new versions of True Image support such a feature?

Thanks

I do not recall there being such an option in any version of ATI. If you clone from MBR drive to a HDD larger than 2TB it will automatically convert the backup to GPT disk. 

Why do you want MBR rather than GPT? As far as I am aware MBR has no advantage over GPT.

Hi, lan,

I am using Lenovo T500 laptop. It seems T500 only supports MBR, not GPT, so I need to convert a GPT disk back to MBR layout.

Thanks
