|/disk:\<diskNumber\>| Specifies the disk number of the disk to be converted to GPT. If not specified, the system disk is used. The mechanism used is the same as that used by the diskpart.exe tool **SELECT DISK SYSTEM** command.|
|/logs:\<logDirectory\>| Specifies the directory where MBR2GPT.exe logs should be written. If not specified, **%windir%** is used. If specified, the directory must already exist, it will not be automatically created or overwritten.|
