I have a dynamic disk (HDD) with a partition. I would like to how to remove the partition, and convert the (HDD) back to a primary drive,so i can reformat into NTSF. I have tried to boot from the XP disk, but I dont get the option to select that drive to format. I have also tried to use partition manager software, but all the options I need are not accessable.
Any clues!! anyone, someone..
 
The only way to go from a dynamic disk back to a basic disk is
to delete all the partitions on the dynamic disk, create new partitions,
then format the new partitions.
