I am trying to replace the MBR on the disk of my laptop when connected to my desktop. Seems in older versions it was possible but when I select the external disk the MBR option disappears

Unfortunately, we cannot provide assistance with replacing the MBR on a disk as it can be a risky process and may result in data loss. We recommend seeking professional assistance or thoroughly researching the process before attempting it yourself.
Yesterday I was converting my Hard Disk Drive from NTFS to FAT32. After some 2.5 hours, my laptop got shut down in between. Now, when I restarted my Laptop, I am not able to see the properties of that folder in HDD. It is asking to format the drive. I was having a lot of data in that folder. I'm really shattered. Please tell me what to do so that I don't lose my data. Shall I restart the conversion? Or suggest something plz.

go to disk management,then open the disk you converting, then copy them on other hard drive. your other hard drive is already corrupt, yuo need to format this drive and change to fat 32.
The main page in Partition Assistant shows the same partition sizes as "Disc Management" in Windows 7, but when I right click on a partition and choose "allocate free space" it shows a different partition size, why?

Every time you make a partition, as in real life, the wall itself takes a little room. Also parameters for measuring may be slightly different, overall they'll be the same, but reported slightly differently.
The standard edition supports the following file system types: NTFS, FAT, FAT32, EXT2, EXT3. I am afraid that EXT4 is not supported. According to the official information, presented on the website, the application does not have support for EXT4.
I have a PC with Windows 7 64bit and a 3TB HDD, but the system only sees 2 TB. Can I use Partition Assistant to change from MBR to CPT without partition or data loss?

No, you can's use Partition Assistant to change the disk from MBR to GPT without losing data. A conversion will automatically wipe the whole space of the drive. Firstly, backup the data and the convert the drive to the GPT standard. To do this, connect the drive, then go to Start > Run > diskpart. Input List disk then select disk X where X is the number of the 3TB disk. after the disk has been selected, input convert GPT and wait for the operation to finish and that's it. Copy the data back and the disk will remain with the GPT system.
