'Logical Drive' convert into 'Primary Partition'?

Question

I removed Ubuntu (Linux) From Parition D:

Now I made Partition in Windows7 using diskmgmt.msc

but this partition made 'Logical Drive' & other C: & E: are Primary partitions

How Could I convert D: into Primary?

What is difference between Logical Drive & Primary Partition???

Answer 1

You are talking about partitions, not drives. When you split a disk into several parts then you get a number of "partitions". When you then format such a partition then you get "drives".

You can have up to four primary partitions. One of them can be an extended partition. If it is then you can create in it as many drives as there are letters in the alphabet.

Primary partitions are bootable. Logical partitions are not bootable.

The native Disk Manager cannot convert one partition type to another but many third-party partition managers can.

Answer 2

Conversion of logical partition to direct primary partition is not properly explore yet, so for that you have to convert logical partition into dynamic first and then convert dynamic to primary.

To convert logical to dynamic use cmd commands as follow:

1.            Back up all volumes on the disk you want to convert from dynamic to basic.

2.            Open a command prompt and type diskpart.

3.            At the DISKPART prompt, type list disk. Make note of the disk number you want to convert to basic.

4.            At the DISKPART prompt, type select disk <disknumber>.

5.            At the DISKPART prompt, type detail disk <disknumber>.

6.            For each volume on the disk, at the DISKPART prompt, type select volume= <volumenumber> and then type delete volume.

7.            At the DISKPART prompt, type select disk <disknumber>. Specify the disk number of the disk that you want to convert to a basic disk.

8.            At the DISKPART prompt, type convert dynamic.

To convert dynamic to primary repeat above from 1 to 7 and then at 8th step use following command:

•             At the DISKPART prompt, type convert basic.

Hello. Yesterday, I have extended a drive, which made all the drive dynamic (type) from basic (type) and status of the drive is showing primary any more. Is this can harm my system and what can I do?
