Just installed WD backup drive. Needed to restart but now have GPT header corruption on boot up. I have no idea what this is or how to fix it.
GPT header corruption
- Thread starter Chris Goddard
- Start date
I assume you've not tried to google "GPT Header Corruption" yet?
There's another thread on a similar topic here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/gpt-header-corruption-asus-bios.68549/
Suggestion there initially was to run a startup repair.
Is this a PCS system? Can you post your specs?

thank you steaky360. As with most problems. a few reboots later and all is well now! Gremlims in the machine.
A good old restart and then another restart and then some threatening words and a further restart often does wonders!

GPT formatted drives have two header tables, a main and a backup. Windows can automatically rebuild a corrupted main table from the backup - probably on a reboot.
However, the header tables don't normally change once the drive is partitioned and formatted, so I would use something like Crystal Disk Info to check the SMART data and ensure that the drive isn't failing in some way.
