<p wrap="">We have to expand our disk space on our file server, we
are running out of disk space. Unfortunately to do so would go over 2
tb so we have to convert from mbr to gpt. I thought this would be
seamless, i.e add the disks in raid the go into windows disk manager
and convert.<br>
<br>
To my horror according to microsoft you have to delete the partition
then convert to gpt then you have to go through the hassle of restoring
your data. Is there any way of doing this without have to delete data
and restore?<br>

<p wrap="">No, this is the only way to convert a disk to GPT.<br>

<p>This is not, in fact, true.&nbsp;&nbsp; <a

can convert MBR partition tables to EFI partition tables
non-destructively</a>.<br>
