'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.

Followed steps.  Exit after step 8.  Run through steps again substituting 'convert basic' for step 8.  Reboot.  Disk space shows unallocated (no partition ==> no files).  Using version 6 WinPE.  I followed step #1 <smile>, so no loss but time.
