Hello guys,
So I found an unused hard drive in a broken laptop I had lying around, and I wanted to use it as another drive. But there were two partitions and I wanted only one so I deleted both and made one simple drive.
Problem is, when I looked at Disk Manager, it said that the disk was dynamic, and the other drives that I saw were only basic, and I thought that I might have done something wrong so I searched around the internet on how to convert dynamic disks to basic disks.
I followed the steps on this page (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776315(v=ws.10).aspx) and the new hard drive was back to basic. I think I may have done something wrong in the process. When I use detail disk command on my boot drive, it says that it has no free space left. I have no idea what's going on.
Note, my computer can still start, but I have to use the boot manager every time and it takes about 5-10 minutes, which might cause some problems for me and anyone else who might use my pc in the future. Can anyone help?
