Dynamic Disk and Basic Disk Relevance
All Microsoft Windows Servers, Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 offer the two types of disk storage: basic and dynamic.
Basic Disk Storage
Basic Disk Storage, known as the inchoative disk with basic volumes (primary partitions, extended partitions) and logical drives (extended partition). DOS and all Windows versions support normal partition tables. As a prevalent way of the disk basic, disk usage can create both logical partitions and primary partition on basic disk, you could extend partition on a basic disk easily with free tools.
Dynamic Disk Storage
Dynamic disks use database under cover in steady of the partition table to track all partitions and information about dynamic volumes or dynamic partitions on the disk. Dynamic Disk offers greater flexibility than Basic Disk. What a pity that Dynamic disk is not supported on portable computers or computers installed XP Home Edition. A HD contains each combination of storage types while the same storage type is necessary by all volumes on the same disk.
Basic Disk –> Dynamic Disk
Be careful convert a basic disk to dynamic one in order to make the applications run more smoothly, especially you are users of Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. After the basic disk convert to dynamic, local access to the dynamic disk is closed by all Windows Home Version; the door of manage the dynamic partition is closed even though the present third partition software do nothing. To convert dynamic disk to basic disk, you have to delete all volumes in dynamic disk and inevitably back up the demand data instead of data losing and damaging.
Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic
When we face extend dynamic disk, you find it impossible to convert dynamic disk to basic disk firsthand unless you clear away the volumes on the disk and inconvenient to change dynamic disk into basic disk unless a dynamic disk without volumes. To change dynamic disk to basic one easy and data security, you should resort to Dynamic Disk Converter – the hard disk partition software finishing the conversion security and convenient.
