Thanks First off... you cannot convert your single drive to dynamic...even if you wanted to... and NO...there is NO advantage to converting...but there are quite a few dis-advantages! |

Unless you create a hardware RAID prior to the installation of your OS... there is no way (I know of) to have the first OS exist on a primary array. Do not OK any changes...but go into disk management and look at the options you get...that should hopefully clarify your inquiry |

It will let you do it; however, you will no longer be able to boot from the disk, because the active primary partition is converted to a simple volume. http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_diskconcepts_10.mspx?mfr=true |

It will preserve the partition in the MBR, so no problem. This is also why there are some restrictions on what you can do with an converted system partition afterwards |

At amy rate...I would not fool around with dynamic disks... In the event of a problem...they would only complicate data recovery |

basic disk and dynamic disk
Dynamic disk provide many features.
You can get the detail information from here. http://www.dynamic-disk.com/what-is-dynamic-disk.html Considering the advantages of the dynamic disk, maybe you will convert basic disk to basic disk. This operation can be realized by the built-in disk management. http://www.dynamic-disk.com/basic-di...amic-disk.html But you should know the risk of this operation, convert basic to dynamic is simple. But when you want to convert dynamic disk back to basic disk, the big problem appears--delete all the dynamic volumes to convert it back through the built-in disk management. So, I think this information can help you. http://www.dynamic-disk.com/convert-...-to-basic.html On Saturday, January 05, 2008 8:07 AM Gordon wrote: On a system with one physical disk drive, are there any advantages to be gained by converting from a basic to a Dynamic disk?

basic disk and dynamic disk
EggHead HoopleHead Alert...
Replying to a thread from 2008 and changing the subject. Do you really think the OP will be back after all these years, and just pull your changed subject out of the air? Since you don't know how to use newsgroups or forums, you are certainly qualified to do cleanup in a fast food joint. "Jean" wrote in message ... Dynamic disk provide many features.

Basic disk or Dynamic disk
Dynamic disk offer much features than the basic disk do.
Actually, we would like to convert basic disk to dynamic disk to experience its advantages. Nevertheless, we should know there still has many problem waiting to be solved?such as the dynamic get invalid or unreadable. However, convert dynamic disk back to basic disk can not realized by the Windows built-in disk management flawlessly. Fortunately, this series of problems can be achieved through third-party software, such as Dynamic Disk Converter. Take more useful information through the website. http://www.dynamic-disk.com http://www.dynamic-disk.com/convert-...-to-basic.html On Saturday, January 05, 2008 8:07 AM Gordon wrote: On a system with one physical disk drive, are there any advantages to be gained by converting from a basic to a Dynamic disk?
