You can't convert a dynamic disk back to basic unless you remove all the volumes, first, which means losing all your data unless you do a full system backup.

cool. I always saw that under disk admin, but never bothered to check it out. Kind of reminds me of the fancy Unix file systems HPUX and Digital Unix has to offer. Thank Toe.
