    Just a moment...

    How ya doin'? Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. For me, not so much. You see, I messed up. I was something wrong d/l-ing a file. No matter how I tried, I could not d/l! I had a brainless idea; I deleted a drive (j:/UEFI), thinking that could be the problem. It's true! I am an idiot!!!!! Please tell me I can fix it, somehow to adding the drive I deleted.

    I tried using the app MBR2GPT.EXE again; however, I always get an error now:
    c: \users\finest>mbr2gpt /validate /allowfullos
    EnablePrivilege: AdjustTokenPrivieges failed (Error:0x514)
    (cont.)

    ERROR: Failed to enable backup/restore privileges.
    Check that you are running in a process with elevated privileges.
    As you can see, I am a novice. I know my C drive is formatted in MBR.

    You could simply have someone re-install windows for you. And yes, have someone do it for you.

    BTW, when this has taken place, a new, smaller window appeared telling me I have "Bad_Module_Info has stopped working."
