thanks for your sharing, but
thanks for your sharing, convert mbr to gpt without data loss.
It does not see the Partition
It does not see the Partition i want to format as Ext4.
With Windows i can format it as FAT, FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, it gives it a letter and i can use it, but it is not seen in MiniTool Partition Wizard, so i can not tell MiniTool Partition Wizard to format it as Ext4 (neither as FAT32, etc).
MiniTool Partition Wizard only see Physical Main Disk (the ones identify as HD#:, it does not see any IFS: one), it does not see all the rest of Disks, neither a TrueCrypt / VeraCrypt disk, etc.
It may not be a BUG on MiniTool Partition Wizard, just something not yet implemented.
With BootIce (one that can see also IFS: drives) i can see the partition (it show the partition as a whole IFS: drive, obviously not as HD#:).
With Windows i can format it as FAT, FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, write files on it, read from it, verify written files, etc.
Simple test: Create with VeraCrypt a dynamic 1GiB file container (without format), then mount it, BootIce will see it as a IFS: not HD#: and Windows will let you format as FAT, FAT32, NTFS and exFAT, but MiniTool Partition Wizard will not even see it.
