How to Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk?

Question

Hello,

I'm using Genuine Windows 7 HP SP1 x64 OEM version in my Acer Notebook.

Nowadays I have a trouble with my primary disk drive.

I Used 3rd party partition management software to shrink my "C" drive. The operation outside the windows wasn't successful and I faced a disk check after that. BTW It goes fine and my whole HDD becomes a dynamic disk. I want to convert it back to basic. But the convert option is inactivated in third party partition management softwares and even disk management utility. So how do I convert it back to basic?

I tried a clean custom windows installation, but I have following errors.

I'm unable to create, delete, extend any volumes here. All options are inactivated (gray) The only option available is "format"

And I was unable to continue Installing windows in the different drive. Then it gives me the bellow error;

Now what can I do to get my HDD back to the previous state?

Please help me.

Thanks in advance before.

Answer 1

Please tell me that 3rd party software because I also wanted to Convert my dynamic disk to Basic without losing data.

Answer 2

Every forum, on which i have been, mentions this solution. But nobody mentions what to do of the drive on which the system is installed i.e Drive C. That system will not delete that volume and hence the disk won't be converted back to basic any time soon. Honestly "WHY ANYONE DOES NOT MENTION WHAT TO OF C DRIVE"
