Hello dear forum members,
I'd like to ask for help with this problem: I started Testdisk under W19 Pro (64 bit) and just wanted to have the partition table rewritten. The reason is, I installed a SSD HD and cloned the old one. The Acronis program has set up the FP as a dynamic disk for me, so I can't create new partitions anymore.
I wanted to convert the FP from dynamic to "basic". For this I used a tutorial how to do it with the help of Testdisk - not sure where I found it in the big www ... it sounded simple
Anyway, after reading all partitions on Testdisk I clicked on "Write", then the programm requested me to reboot the notebook.
Well, after the boot process a diagnostic window started. But with "Exit" the program cannot be stopped, there is always a new reboot and again the diagnosis. So I cannot skip this diagnosis and return to Windows.

Thx in advance for your help

PS I can't find a way to upload the screenshot.

Testdisk and Photorec have not been tested under W19 Pro (64bit).
I guess Christoph Grenier doesn't even has a personal copy of W19 Pro - me neither.

There are so many Acronis programs. I guess you mean Acronis Disk Director.

has set up the FP

FP = floppy? Please refrain from using abbreviations. It really induces a bad mood in me because it's signaling that you don't care about a good desription and that writing a full word is too embarrassing for you.

??? Your software did not set anything up for you, it is just mirroring the source.

The easiest solution for you is to duplicate your source drive again.

There is an attachment tab on the bottom of the forum page.
