I installed a new Maxtor 120GB Hdd in my comp last night, rebooted into WIN2K, and when I click on My Computer/Manage/Disk Management, it showed up, but as a dynamic drive.

All I could do with it was to make it into a volume, and format as NTFS. I tried PartitionMagic, and I couldn't make any changes to the partition.

I've never encoundter this problem before. Any ideas?

Spec:
Intel P4 2.4B
MSI 645E Max-U Mobo
512MB DDR333
GF3 ti200 64MB
SB Live 5.1
WD 60GB (Storage)
Maxtor 6GB (System)
Maxtor 120GB
LG 24x24x32 CDR
WIN2K PRo SP4

You should be able to revert to a basic drive in Logical Disk Manager (right click on the drive), but only if you're not using software RAID.
