Hi,

Please redirect me if I'm not on the good group.

I'm using an HD formated with a dynamique partition.
It works ok on winxp pro, but not on the home version.

So I was wondering if there was a way to make it work on both system.
Is there any king of converter from dynamic to basic partition ?


Thanks for you advice.

You should've read this first.

[[You can access dynamic disks only from computers that are running Windows
2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. You cannot
access dynamic disks from computers running MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 or earlier, or Windows XP Home Edition. This
restriction also means that you cannot start any of these operating systems
if you convert the disk containing the system volume to dynamic.

To avoid this restriction, use two hard disks: install the other operating
system on the first disk, which contains the system volume, and then install
Windows XP Professional on the second disk. Using this method, you can
convert the disk that is running Windows XP Professional to dynamic and
still start the other operating system on the basic disk. However, this
method prevents the other operating system from accessing the dynamic disk
or any of its volumes and data. Therefore, in computers that start multiple
operating systems, you must use caution when you convert disks to dynamic.]]
