How to convert dynamic disk into basic type?



Dynamic disk is always a disaster for most of the windows users.A dynamic disk stores all files and manages it in  a different manner. So it is always recommended that your disk type should be basic.

Dynamic disk  uses a totally different way of storing and retrievng files.Hence dynamic disk can always create a problem for newbies.

HOW TO KNOW YOUR DISK TYPE:-

  1.  open command promt and type "diskpart"(command promt must be opened with administrative rights)
  2. then type "list disk"
  3. a screen is opened like this
 In this image 'Dyn' is set blank which mean that this disk is of basic type
 


To change a dynamic disk into a basic one just follow these commands;
  1. diskpart
  2. list disk
  3. select disk 0 (according to your disk no.) 
  4. clean
  5. create partition   primary
  6. select partition 1
  7. active
  8. set basic
And the last step your disk will be changed into basic type.
