On my Win10 laptop, I am unable to read a GPT Protective Partition. It shows in Disk Manager but not in File Explorer. While trying to convert to MBR, PA Pro shuts downm after 10 seconds and does not complete the process.

What can I do?

    Have you confirmed this partition has a drive letter assigned? You may use PA, Disk Management, or Cmd > Diskpart to assign a letter, to mount the drive.

    I apologize, my reply was not accurate. According to this article, GPT protective partitions cannot have drive letters or be mounted.

    @AussieGeek, Maybe you can try to create WinPE bootable media of AOMEI Partiton Assistant, then boot computer from WinPE media to convert the disk. But, please note that we can't confirm the data will still existed after conversion. Because our software also can't read data from GPT Protective Partition before conversion.
