MBR2GPT should really have a warning about running it on a boot drive on a non-UEFI BIOS (and probably even prevent it from running unless blatantly overridden).

[@VonnathanJ]

I should've paused the video earlier but here now I pause at 7 minutes and 37 seconds, 2 years after this video was created to offer my deepest and most sincerest appreciation and gratitude for you Rich. I'm at the beginning of my tech journey and I've found out fast that if you don't know wth you're doing you have a 6 foot 8 280 lb guy name "Ain't this some Shit" looming around the corner ready to hit you square in the jaw. I didn't perform a backup or anything of course and it's the families computer. I type all this to say I now truly realize that there are moments in life where relief to this level can only be obtained in moments quite like this. You saved a family today sir, and more importantly a young man's buttocks. Thank you so much for real, for making a video like this but even more so for acting upon your decision to make a youtube channel, following through, and staying at it. You really are helping a lot of people.

[@CyberCPU]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that.

[@concernednewfie]

Happened to me on a new system. It was only one of a few issues I ran into, including of course, a non functional thumbdrive. Had to buy one of those first. I am watching this for your guide as a 'after disaster' breakdown.

[@MelsRNRETRO]

After my mess with old hardware, I decided to debloat Windows and install a lightweight version. It runs great without all the bloat. Love all your videos. We've all been there at one point. Cheers!

[@thenaturehome5949]

My Laptop won't boot after following your first video , but following this steps fix it back to normal thanks 👍🏻

[@CyberCPU]

That's why I made it. The first video will break a system that does not have a UEFI BIOS. Glad it helped.

[@kevinm3751]

Something I always do when I build a computer for a client (or myself for that matter) I always have a second drive where I setup all the folders for the personal info and then I change the docs, images, etc folders to point to that second drive location. That way those files are always there and if you have to reinstall its a simple matter of redirecting those folders back to that drive and all your files are intact and accessable.

[@CyberCPU]

Occasionally I'll work on a computer that was originally set up with two partitions. A small one for the operating system and a big one for data. Unfortunately what's typically the case is that the bigger partition is completely empty and the smaller partition is completely full. What I typically do in those cases is wipe out the second partition and then expand the primary partition.

[@douglaidlaw740]

Secure Boot was put there to lock out better systems. It was bound to cause trouble. Turn it off, and your box is no less secure than one running Win 8. M$ is not interested in producing a system better than the competition. Doing it this way is far easier.

[@tonycstech]

Hirens boot CD is also your go to hacking collection. It can jack windows password, modify registry etc. Great stuff. I am surprised it's not banned yet.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Hirens hasn't been updated since 2012 and doesn't work worth a damn. Plenty of tools are better and actually work. It'll never be banned because it's obsolete.

[@georgeh6856]

Always have a rescue usb thumb drive, especially if you only have one computer. Even if you only have one USB port, for example on a laptop, the Linux-based System Rescue CD has a boot option which copies the sysrescd OS to RAM while booting so that once booted you can then remove the sysrescd thumb drive and insert a second thumb drive to do backups or to download and extract a different ISO.

[@23_rior19]

I changed boot to uefi but made boot logo look weird so trying every thing your the only guy to have working solution to change back to legacy

[@garycunningham8543]

Ok, Partition magic got me back to MBR but my boot record was still messed up. I found a vid that ran me through some BootREC commands for command promt and that patched up my boot record enough to get my recovery drive to catch. Wow! What an adventure that was. But! I got it back and freed up 65 gigs the last ownder had partitioned. Thank you for the journey.

Many Thanks!!! You helped me solve many problems, specially for the Hirens Boot CD, supper cool in deed.

[@Jmoneythadon]

Thank you man this worked!. It didn't work the first time so my advice don't use a cheap thumb drive they don't have the power to handle this get a decent one and it works. I switched to one of the better thumb drives I already had and it worked like a charm only took 10 sec to load up and I was done in 2 min so thanks again! And I don't care about windows 11 anymore if you have to do all this to get an update then they can keep it!

[@romanumvanderhelm8982]

Did you set the download to gpt?

[@b00st3d7]

man this is the only video ive found that knows how to fix this very niche problem I have, only issue is i plugged the usb drive with hirens boot cd onto it, and when i turned on the bricked computer, i've tried every single possible combination of the function keys, as well as looked at my documentation (cyberpower pc) and pressed f11 constantly to get it into the menu you had up on screen (where you could select the usb drive as the boot drive) as well as tired all the way from f5-12 with fn/without fn and everything in between. im at such a loss cause this computer cost me so much when I bought it and I do not have the money at all to buy another. need help asap 😭😭😭

[@supremerulah420]

@CyberCPU Tech If the operation was successful and booting up (UEFI and GPT conversion complete), can I remove the partitions on the end? I have 3 (listed in order) "C:Windows (NTFS) 930GB" , "*: (FAT32) 100MB" , "*: (NTFS) 501MB" the last two have no letters assigned. I have no separate 'System' partition.

Hi, I just built a brand-new gaming pc and it is not detecting my NvMe Drive, the specs are MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus, Ryzen 7 2700x, Sapphire Nitro + RX 580 4gb, Gigabyte P750GM Modular Power Supply, G.Skill Ripjaw 4x8 = 32gb DDR4 3600mhz ram, Adata XPG Gammix s5 512gb NvMe M.2, Adata Sata SSD 240gb SSD, my issues are with the NvMe m.2 in M.2 slot #1 wont post at all then I put the NvMe in M.2 # 2 Slot and it boots to bios but bios is not detecting the NvMe m.2 drive. CSM is on but I'm afraid to change to UEFI because I have no clue about bios things, and I don't want to mess anything up. I read you must change to UEFI to be able to detect the NvMe but idk what that will do once I change from CSM to UEFI my nvme is brand new and never been used so there's no windows or anything on it currently. I installed the Adata Sata SSD with Windows 10, and it boots right up but in Disk Managment I still cannot see the NvMe drive at all, I'm afraid if I change from CSM to UEFI I may not be able to get back into bios my RX 580 on CPU-Z has the little UEFI box Check marked but I have no idea what I'm doing to get this NvMe to detect and work properly

[@InTheSh8]

Or clone the drive to an SSD if still on an HDD. Then you swap and have your data on safe on the old disk.

[@tomcozad14]

I have a problem don't know if it has to do with UEFI. But I have a Dell T3500 WORKSTATION and I know it's probably 8 or 10 years old and when I hit F12 to get to the USB boot option there is no boot option for USB. The hard drive is a MBR.

I have this problem that my screen has no signal. I have tried using 2 separate USBs but neither worked. This issue only occured after enabling SecureBoot. I have also tried pressing multiple buttons trying to boot from USB but none of them worked. I took out the graphics card and plugged my screen directly into the motherboard to see if that would work but that also lead to the same outcome: no signal. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

[@kevinantonius8821]

Same here, are ur problem solved bro?

[@KEUKENROLVDB]

@@kevinantonius8821 So I fixed the problem. It did cost me some money. My CPU did not have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did not give out any signal. Obviously my GPU also did not give any signal. I had to buy a CPU that was compatible with my motherboard that did have integrated graphics so when I plugged my HDMI cable into my motherboard it did give a signal to my monitor so that I could turn of Secure Boot and put my original CPU back into my motherboard. After that my GPU finally started giving the signal to my monitor.

[@KigerTrolls]

My pc broke a year ago and i dont remember exactly what i did but i followed a different tutorial about secure boot but had the same problem, only the problem is that my pc keeps booting for like half a second and turns off again and keeps doing that. But if i remove my GPU it works just fine. Would this tutorial fix my issue too or do i have to do something else?

Yeah nothing has worked. Time to hit up the pc store...

Here is an interesting issue I came across. I was running Windows 11 when all of a sudden while I was watching YT, it froze. I rebooted and was brought to the recovery screen. I tried booting from my Win 11 Install flash drive. No go. Same screen. Grabbed my laptop, and created an install USB for WIn10. No problem. Curious about my problem, I started looking into it. I update my BIOS to the latest Gigabyte BIOS for my MB. It was only outdated by one step, which had already fixed Win 11 problems with fTPM. I converted my Boot partition to GPT. No problem. Made sure Secure Boot was turned on, and fTPM. I still can't load a USB drive with Win 11 install. As soon as I turn on eitherr fTPM or Secure Boot, I get the Recovery screen. Either it's the GDP blue screen or winload.efi bluescreen. Strange as all heck. Since I WAS running Win 11 without problems since October of Last year. Any ideas man? I'm guessing I have to rebuild my GDP boot file, but not 100% sure. Seems to be the only thing I haven't tried yet.

I am at the part where I put the USB or thumb drive into my PC and boot it up so I can boot on the thumb drive but nothings coming up still when I put the thumb drive in my PC. What should I do now?

[@CyberCPU]

It depends on your computer. If it's a custom built computer most of them will give you the boot menu by pushing f8 or f9 during post . If it's a Dell you hit f12 during post. If it's an HP you hit the escape key until the post menu comes up and then you hit f9 I believe to get the boot menu. Lenovo is going to be f12 or esc during post. Those are the only ones I remember off the top of my head. If none of those work then you may have to search Google for your computer model number specifically. When you're searching make sure to specify the key you need to press to get to the boot menu.

[@GT-on2vh]

Before doing anything...check your bios settings and see if you can find the relevant options to do this. convert mbr to gpt... MS has a tool for that. Google or youtube it. After doing this you will have to go into bios as the next step as your OS will not boot up. From bios select UEFI instead of legacy option and enable secure boot. You might as well enable tpm 1.2 or 2 since you are already here. Restart PC and it should boot to OS.
