Convert MBR to GPT

[ViieeS]

Hi! I need extend my OS X 10.11.4 system partition, but disk now in MBR format. How can I convert my disk from MBR to GPT? And would fat32 clover's partition and system works after that?

Why are you using MBR?

Note guide for your board: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...dh67xx-hd3000-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.html

The old guide (for ML, linked from new guide) has instructions for converting MBR->GPT and GPT->MBR, because at that time I was not using UEFI.

RehabMan, When I started learning about hackintosh installation, I found an manual, where suggested to use MBR, since then I use it... Thanks for link!
Why you don't use UEFI? Are you use legacy booting?

Keep in mind that modifying the installer for MBR is not according to the rules here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/faq.php

I am using UEFI.

RehabMan, HDD successfully converted to GPT! Despite that I can't change size of system partition(via Disk Utility) because of Windows partition(I suspect) on the same HDD, next to MAC partition...

You need to move the partition that is in the way first, of course...
