Start with the question below:

Recently, I encountered some headaches when installing a computer system. Fortunately, after nearly one day of uninstalling and reinstalling the system, I finally completed the Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 13.10 Dual System Under EIF + GPT.

Problem 1: At the beginning, win8.1 was installed with MBR partitions, which caused my 3 t hard drive to exceed 760 GB of space. Go to the Internet and check that the MBR supports a maximum of 2 TB partitions. So what should I do?

Converting MBR to the OPT partition method is actually quite simple. right-clicking on the disk in disk management can convert the disk from MBR to the OPT format. I have already completed the conversion. Note that if you want to use a USB flash drive to install the POT partition system,

If you want to convert a hard disk to an OPT partition and delete a partition (reserved as a system disk), you must do so here. Otherwise, you cannot find the disk when installing the system.

.

However, I am afraid that the content in the disk will be replaced, so I used the Diskgenius tool. When I click "MBR-> OPT", the system collapsed... Here we have taken this picture again. Do not do this (you should not transfer OPT-> MBR here ):

Well, there is no way to reinstall the system, and a USB flash drive is installed with a soft drive.

Some tutorials have such a step: because we want to use the OPT partition, we don't need this step. If we need an MBR partition, we can do it. Of course, since you have read this tutorial

Of the OPT partition.

In this way, the boot disk is ready.
