My disk was dos labelled (MBR). So I ‘fdisk’-ed my disk and entered ‘o’ to convert it to GPT and wrote it to the disk. Now all the partitions are gone. I want those back. I care about the data rather than the partitions

Solution:
- install testdisk
- run testdisk
- choose “Create” log
- choose target disk. Eg: /dev/sda
- Choose appropriate partition type. Mine was MBR and I chose “Intel” and select “analyze”
- Now you’ll see deleted partitions. Giveem appropriate flags like “*” for boot (efi partition) and “P” any other using space or arrow keys and press enter
- choose “write” and press y on the prompt to write those found partitions to the disk.
Thanks guys for the help
Oh yeah i figured there were some tools able to do that, i meant to say that you can’t substitute one with the other in place without doing some sort of conversion.
