didn't lose my data, but it did ruin my boot. i booted from a live cd mounted my drive to /mnt, chrooted to /mnt like normal and re-ran grub config. everything seems to be good now
your boot loader will probably be borked by doing this. i had to boot from live cd, mount my drive somewhere and re-run grub-mkconfig edit: and yep, i didn't notice any data loss. except for the whole break boot loader part, but that's minor since you can rebuild it
yes totally OK, GPT Scheme has protective mbr sector at the beginning for backward compatibility reasons. when writing GPT table, will add gpt table that contains data about partitions at the beginning after the mbr sector which becomes protective, as well as add backup table at the end of the hard, which may erase data at these places of hard. typically it is better than erasing all data.
Olá amigo, com oeu queria trasnformar um HD externo para GPT , eu usei em conjunto com o Gdisk o Gparted, para criar a partição a ser transformada e instalada o windows 10, mais uma vez muito obrigado
if you want replace ubuntu by windows 10, you must erase the disk and install windows. first you want to Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB on Ubuntu 20.04 : th-cam.com/video/rJQk9KVekFI/w-d-xo.html then boot on USB bbotable and Install windows 10 : th-cam.com/video/o-2GopsJrIE/w-d-xo.html

WARNING: This will cause data loss. Just like other comments, I too have lost all my data. This is very bad advice and the video should be removed.
Do you follow the same steps, like the video?

jahahj
Unfortunately, I lost my data, I wish I looked at comments...

And then my proxmox KVM dont boot anymore. Anything must to do with the bootloader.
My laptop failed to boot only show blinked screen after convert partition from mbr to gpt ,plis help?? and the hard drive not detected
Same bro my screen freezes at blinking cursor.
Success. No data loss in my case👍
you're welcome :) , i m glad for you :)
Mine says mbr: protective
Gpt: present
Is that okay?
Looks ok. I think the video was finished in the same condition
yes totally OK,
GPT Scheme has protective mbr sector at the beginning for backward compatibility reasons.

thank you so much for this video, i was litteraly lost😭😭
thanks, work for me too.. 100% no loss data
When you reboot its back in grub rescue
Not working
Works but will brick your VM the moment you reboot.
Do you solved the problem?
thanks man, you made my day... love you buddy

Sir I have ubuntu 20.04 and I want to replace ubuntu 20.04 by windows 10. Plz help how to do that without any problem🙏
if you want replace ubuntu by windows 10, you must erase the disk and install windows.
first you want to Create a Windows 10 Bootable USB on Ubuntu 20.04 : th-cam.com/video/rJQk9KVekFI/w-d-xo.html
then boot on USB bbotable and Install windows 10 : th-cam.com/video/o-2GopsJrIE/w-d-xo.html
after i see your video it works but i don't understand easily
I can explain,
GPT Scheme has protective mbr sector at the beginning for backward compatibility reasons.
when writing GPT table, will add gpt table that contains data about partitions at the beginning after the mbr sector which becomes protective, as well as add backup table at the end of the hard, which may erase data at these places of hard. typically it is better than erasing all data.
secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 3121927093 blocks, I couldnt figure it out using gparted tutorial on some forums
It turned to gpt but my whole OS was vanished 😅 still you did it very well.
😂😂😂
Thanks a lot man your video very helpful for me...👍👍👍
Glad for you :)
It will clear data ?
No, to be safe, make a backup.
Tums Up
You're the man. This is a fantastic tutorial. I gave you like
thanks man 😁
Thanks for helping.
It worked
I did the same as this video.But after restarting my Ubuntu server is not loading anymore) Any suggestion?
@@mohammedsamir5142 dude I did same that u did on this video.
Thanks a lot I fcuked up 😂. OS crashed it shows Boot failed.
@@vasanthvel501 hey same, was all data lost?

Was your problem solved?
data was lost
cool! ⚡
Thank You So Mich Sir
are the process the same as in linux mint
Thank you, it's very helpful
Thanks your
Sir why do we did this, plz tell how to check whether my disk is mbr or gpt?
with gdisk tools. all is described on this video
@@TechINtn sir i have to convert before boot or after
@@GojitAgrawal after boot on ubuntu
Please gpt to mbr
to Convert from GPT to MBR partition table:
1- sudo gdisk
2- Chose r : recovery and transformation options (experts only)
3- Chose g : convert GPT into MBR and exit
4- Chose w : write the MBR partition table to disk and exit
5- Type Y to accept
@@TechINtn thanks bro 😀
Thank u

No data loss is true, but the system cannot boot. Rubbish app
thank you for this video
