MBR2GPT: Too many MBR partitions found, no room to create EFI system partition

In the process of moving Windows 10 from Legacy BIOS to UEFI using mbr2gpt command you might encounter the error that says "disk layout validation failed for disk 0" error. In this video I've addressed one of the reason behind this error.

I had the problem "cannot find room for the efi system partition" when trying to use MBR2GPT. (There actually was 1.5 GB free unused space). I ran the C: drive Properties/Tools/Error Checking which found and fixed some problems. Then the MBR2GPT successfully finished. Thank you for your helpful videos, including the one about "Cannot find OS partition". I had that problem too, which your video gave the correct solution. Best regards.

Thank you, I had like 4 partitions. Two recovery ones. After I removed one unused recovery partition, I was able to convert it from MBR to GPT and enable it in my BIOS for Windows 11.

Hello! If I may ask, I want to know why the available space to shrink for my disk is lower than 10240; the available space to shrink is only 1273. Thank you!

I worked right for me until 5:40 - When I try to convert it shows me the message ''cannot find room for the efi system partition''. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

[KINGFLX]

/Validate works fine.

/Convert it says Cannot find room for the EFI system partition (I have 130GB free on C:)

I have tried some unallocated space and tried to convert that into EFI & NTFS & New Volume & left it blank.

Tried in windows PE environment & disabling reagentc.

Layout is: System reserved - C: - Recovery (3 or less as required)

I have asked ChatGPT Google YouTube I still cannot get this to work out and I don't know why.

[ggchannel]

When i was try to convert mbr2gbt it's get error Cannot find room for the EFI system partition. Please give me the solution.

[macroftStudio]

Please help, I managed to do everything you said here. After I converted, I restarted the laptop. Chose uefi. Efi on bios shows only efi pxe network. And now it won't boot windows 10 at all.

[sragga]

i deleted my recovery partition, and merged it into the next partition, leaving only 3. mbr2gpt would not work now due to the missing recovery partition even with it disabled. so stuck now

[Bobek]
