I finally got a new computer that I desperately needed but I decided to keep my old hard drive so that I will be able to clone it and wouldn't have to go through the trouble of setting windows 8 back up and reinstalling my apps/games. Here is where the problem starts. I was able to clone my setup my new hard drive and clone it just fine, but after cloning it, it wasn't using the other half of the drive and I don't want to have two 500gb partitions. I went to extend the volume but by doing this, it said it would turn the basic disk into a dynamic disk. At the time, I didn't really know the difference so I went ahead and extended the volume... or at least tried to. After confirming that it would be converted into a dynamic disk, it didn't extend the drive at all. It was still at 447 gb but was now a dynamic disk. It was at this point I looked up what a dynamic disk was and realized I wouldn't be able to use it to boot up my PC. So, I went through and looked up how to convert back to a basic disk and what not and converted it back but I still face the problem of it be split into 2 different partitions...
I am sorry if I made this thread too long but I thought it would be best to include everything.
Thanks in advance.
