Convert Dynamic to Basic when Windows was installed first on SSD

You can do the conversion, follow option 4 here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/26829-convert-dyna...

Not sure that my atempted helpers understands what the sittuation is. I installed windows, I had a nother HDDR (SSD) that I put in with the first one to run RAID 0 after installing windows converted them both to Dynamic Disk and realized that It would not allow me to to RAID them. So now I'm trying to Clear the 1st Disk but says "Windows Cannot Delete the System Volume on the Disk" also says clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot, system, pagefile, crash dump or hibernation volume

May be a call to the manufacture it is a new disk

Right, you cannot delete the system volume when you are running the OS from it whether it is a basic or dynamic disk. If you want to save the install, use the link I posted above and follow the directions. That will give you a basic disk with the system intact on the drive.

I installed OS on the second drive and tryed to go in on the other SSD running Windows and It wont budge

Windows was installed before the disk was converted to Dynamic.

So do you want to convert it to a basic disk as you said in the original post or just format it?

If convert follow my link above.

If format, then do a secure erase on the drive. If it is an Intel use the Intel SSD Toolbox, if it is not an Intel you can use something like Wipe Disk: http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/...

Just make absolutely sure that you erase the correct drive.

not picking up the link, Yes I'd like to convert back to basic don't care about loosing data but the disk has windows installed on it and thats nogt alklowing the convert

The Partition Wizard states "Dynamic Disk is not supported by MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"

Try converting back to a basic disk like this (option 4): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/26829-convert-dyna...

OK tried I tried that disk is Dynamic and it will not allow me to proceed to [next] unless I purchase the software where as I could buy two more of these drives for that so sorry umbre it's not working.

I have found another link here that was very helpful
