Question

So i've run into a problem with a NTFS partition

being "outside the disk", as in the last sector number is bigger than the number of sectors. the internet says you can fix it with sfdisk. my question is what else is there to do? I gues sI can backup the partition table before trying that, luckily it's only one ntfs partition? an image of the disk will be hard since it's a 2TB disk...

You can try applying the fix you found and restore...

can you convert the partition table without losing data?

Windows has a command line tool to convert MBR to GPT if you have <= 3 primary partitions. I (so far) have not come across Linux tools which do the same. Although it is usually recommended to wipe the disk and convert it to GPT.
