Hello,
My hard drive with windows 10 installed, does not start anymore and under another PC, it appears as unlocated in disc manager.
The software "discgenius" has find all my partitions:
1- system reserved (0)
2- primary (1) which contains extended partition logical (5) (damaged) but I can access and copy files from
3- primary (3)
4- Logical Disk (4)
but when I want to save the partition table, it asks me if the disk is MBR or GUID ????
As I don't remember, I thought about the recovery folder in the primary (1) partition.
is there a way to know if my disc is GUID or MBR from this folder ?
thank you
Is there a way to know if my crashed hard drive is GPT or MBR ?

If logical partitions are listed, it means that PC Intel/MBR is used.

Thank you for the response.
I try the MBR partition table, But I receive the message :
"Can not convert the partition table to MBR style.(200000148) More than 4 primary partitions ??
I try testdisc but it took too long time and the partitions are shown as Ms DATA !!!!!
