    OS C: disk being converted to dynamic


    Hello,Recently, I was looking around the control panel, stupidly clicking buttons I didn't know much about when I realised I had converted my Disk containing the "OS" part into a dynamic disk. I've heard this is bad and can corrupt this disk, and would like to know if this claim is true, and how I could change it back to a basic disk preferably for free. I can no longer turn on Bitlocker Drive Encryption unsure whether this is linked and some other things such as a slower computer or other issues have appeared also unsure whether this has any relation.Thanks in advance,

    :)

    Convert Basic Disk into Dynamic Disk

    Hi Charbel,

    It would be helpful if you mentioned the things that you have tried to do that failed so that we can skip those steps. You can follow the steps provided in the article:
    How to convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk in Windows 7, to change a basic disk to
    a dynamic one. The instructions are also applicable for Windows 10. You can also check this article:
    Extend a basic volume.

    Ensure that you create a back up for your system as well.

    Regards.

  3. Convert a dynamic disk into basic disk

    Hello guys!

    Today I need your help because if not then I'll be in danger. Now what happened is that I was trying to split a E drive in disk management tool. So when I did so it gave me a warning message saying that the disk will be a dynamic one and that the PC will not be able to boot from it if it is a dynamic one. Now I thought that the new drive I'm creating will be the dynamic one and I knew that my Windows (8.1 Pro) is installed in C drive. And I clicked yes. Then, all the disks were converted into a dynamic one. I don't have the option to convert the dynamic ones into basic ones again. So please help me fast before I reach my DOOM!

    Thanks in advance!
