To convert dynamic disk
- Run "Dynamic Disk Converter" in the left "Wizard" panel;
- Select one of the methods to continue. Two detailed solutions are as follow:
Case 1: Method 1
- Select the dynamic disk which you want to convert to basic disk;
- To ensure data security, if any partitions will loss in the process, you will be prompted by the software. If so, please back to use Method 2 to convert those will loss volumes;
- Confirm that it is the disk you want to convert and then tick the option "I have decided to execute this option." to continue;
- Converting...
- Report the result of the conversion and then you need to restart the computer to take effect.
Case 2: Method 2
- Pick a source dynamic volume which you want to convert/copy to basic disk and then click "Next" to continue;
- On any other basic disks select an unallocated space to hold that a source dynamic volume;
- Confirm that it is the volume which you wish to convert and press "Proceed" to start converting;
- The conversion is being executed...
- Report the result of the conversion.
Note:
Due to the characteristic of basic disk, Dynamic Disk Converter cannot directly convert the spanned, striped, mirror and RAID volume to basic partition. Therefore you need to use Method 2 to convert them to basic partition.
