For examples of how this command can be used, see Examples.
Syntax
convert gpt [noerr]
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|

Remarks
|
Important |
|
The disk must be empty to convert it into a GPT disk. Back up your data, and then delete all partitions or volumes before converting the disk. |
- A basic disk must be selected for this operation to succeed.
Use the select disk command to select a basic disk and shift
the focus to it.
