• Disk menu
• Select Disk 1 (Replace 1 with the number of disk where the GPT protection section is)
• Cleansing
• Convert MBR
• exit

Next, Diskpart will successfully convert a GPT disk to MBR. In disc management, you can see that the disk appears as “non -approved”. You will need to create sections to use the disk.

Here is a quick guide on how to create sections:

Step 1. Open Disk Management> Right -click on the Displaced Disk> Select “New Simple Storage”.

Step 2. Click “Next” to follow up in the new simple sound processor. Write the volume (in MB) and click Next.
