Dynamic to Basic

[HunterSailor]

Greetings everyone

 

So recently i was installing new OS to an 128 GB SSD. I first connected the SSD to install Windows 10 and after doing that i connected the Hard Drive. I had to volumes in the old drive so i deleted the old 'C' which was there in the Hard Drive.

The problem is that now i'm stuck with a Dynamic drive with two volumes, i need to convert it back to basic drive with a single volume.

Diskpart will do that.

Open cmd and type in these lines:

diskpart

list disk

select disk 0 (or whichever the HDD is)

clean disk

convert basic

exit

Sorry i didn't mention this before. I have some data in the hard drive that i don't want to lose. Will the mentioned method work in this case?

Yes. You'd lose everything.

I don't want to lose the data. What then?

Nobody does, but this is all I know. Maybe you could move all your data onto the first partition, remove the second and enlarge the first to occupy the space? If you can fit the data, you can do the rest in Disk Management. But even then it's not actually smart to forgo backups.
