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.
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?
