Hello. I needed to convert my MBR disk to GPT without losing data, so I
coded a tool to do so. It should be able to also convert from other
partition labels as long as logical sector is 512 bit
It worked perfectly for me but I tested it only once so bugs are
possible. Use at your own risk
To compile:
put endian.h from libparted to the same directory as gogpt.c
gcc -o gogpt gogpt.c -Wall -luuid -lparted
To convert to gpt you do:
sudo ./gogpt <disk>
Note: it will change the order of your partitions and clean most of attributes

Vladimir 'phcoder' Serbinenko
