I just create a problem where i accidently formatted my drive. Well, not accidently... When trying to convert GPT to MBR, the process is interrupted. I want to use Windows 7 for classic BIOS mode and Windows 10 for UEFI mode in separate drive. And the process is interrupted and my files is lost. Is there a way to recover the partition without copying all files around 1TB? GPT is not supported by EaseUs Parition Recovery Wizard.
It's a good habit to create a backup image of all the important data. Once you meet any disasters, you can restore all data backup. Consider aomei backupper as a solution. AOMEI Backupper Standard 4 0 6FREE

Did you know you only get ONE shot at creating a recovery disc? And most of the time it is garbage, just like Vista.
He tried to put XP on it and failed? weird.
A couple things you can do...
1. Get your hands on a Vista disk. If you know anyone that works in IT, you can borrow a Vista disk. Do a complete fresh install. Use your "Product Key" and you will have your own Licensed, perfectly legal version of Vista.
2. Get yourself a copy of XP. Delete all partitions, then create a new one. Don't try to save that Vista recovery partition...it's toast. I recommend XP, but I'm a dinosaur.

Do a disk defrag on the source drive. If that doesn't work, you may have a virus on your source drive and norton ghost is catching before getting on your destination drive.

Boot off your Vista disc and
go to the Recovery options. Once inside there access Command Prompt (It
is a choice in the Menu) type Diskpart.exe
and hit enter. Then type Help you will see many options.
What you want to do is type 'List Disk' select the Disk you wish to
convert and so forth. Basically the way to convert from GPT to MBR is in
there. You can also clean all data off the disk from inside Diskpart
and start over with MBR.
Commands to Convert Disks
convert mbr [noerr]
Use the convert mbr command to set the partitioning style of the current
disk to MBR. The disk may be a basic disk or a dynamic disk but the
disk must not contain any valid data partitions or volumes.
convert gpt [noerr]
Use the convert gpt command to set the partitioning style of the current
disk to GPT. The disk may be a basic or a dynamic disk but it must not
contain any valid data partitions or volumes. This command is valid only
on Itanium-based computers; it may be unsuccessful on x-86-based
computers.
convert dynamic [noerr]
Use the convert dynamic command to change a basic disk into a dynamic
disk. The disk may contain valid data partitions.
convert basic [noerr]
Use the convert basic command to change an empty dynamic disk to basic.

I met a similar problem with you. But fortunately my friends recommend Minitool partition wizard to me. It support GPT as well as MBR, and it has partition recovery feature, which may help you out of the problem.
