That's only based on knowing that users have set data drives to GPT to avoid MBR size and partition limitations, long before the UEFI crapware was concocted. Since every UEFI BIOS is different, who knows if new restrictions exist for some on mixing MBR/GPT. So far I've only seen CSM needed for booting an MBR OS, or both. Anyone else?
Seatools finished 'long generic test' w/no errors.
There is no error in DM. It simply will not allow me to do anything except properties and help.
Gparted didn't have an error either it just failed. Didn't give any useful info.
Next step is elevated CMD and your advice.
Later though...people coming over.
When you install a SSD Windows disables Disc Defragmenting & when that's disabled, Disk Management will not allow any changes to be made to any discs, such as repartitioning, deleting etc..
Wow! Great info. Wolfgang?

You can re-enable Disk Defragmenter by going to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Computer Management. See attached screen shot.
Disc Defragmenter can then be enabled again by using the drop down menu in Start Up type.

Oh I'm dying to post the urban dictionary.........spinners are auto rims with a spinning insert !
Those rims are ridiculous! And the urban dictionary is the best place for all the other definitions of spinners!
Yes, a spinner is a mechanical hard drive with spinning disks inside. As opposed to SSD which has no moving parts.
Old school hard drives! Somebody in this thread, or on sevenforums, started calling them spinners so I thought it was a common term! Makes sense to me.Dont mind my ignorance; but what are spinners? Do you mean regular hard drives?
