I tried a billion different things to get mbr2gpt to work. The last one was downloading minitool partition manager. I used it to try and merge two partitions, and now my computer wont boot to windows, it just goes straight to bios.
Its advertised as being able to merge partitions without wiping data so I'm hoping everything is still there.
Buuuuuuuut when I set the bios to default I do get past bios. Except I only get a cannot read disk error
idk.
Are you booting from a USB drive or something? Does your computer have room for a second drive that you can format with GPT and an EFI partition and boot from that. Do tools still show an NTFS partition existing on the disk?
I went to a great computer repair shop. They said my windows files are probably corrupted. They said I should buy some usb drives and load windows on one and linux on the other. Boot the computer into linux, move all the files I want from C to another drive. Then wipe the C drive, reinstall windows, then move the files back.
I'm super relieved. Im going to do it tomorrow.
