Here is an update. I decided to try to convert all the disk in the array to dynamic since the disk wizard popped up to see if it could be that simple. I am risking loosing the data but tried it anyway.

Disk 0 | C: 298.08 GB NTFS Healthy (system) < running OS
Basic

Disk 1 | D: 298.08 GB Healthy < this is the first disk in raid 0.
Basic

Disk 2 | 298.09 GB Unallocated < this is the second disk in raid 0.
Basic <- I converted it to basic

Disk 3 | 298.09 GB Unallocated < this is the third disk in raid 0.
Basic <- I converted it to basic

After converting disk 2 and 3 to basic, I then tried to convert them together into dynamic. Disk 2 and 3 converted ok. But Disk 1 gave me this error that I can't find anywhere on the internet "the specified field is not valid". Disk 2 and 3 converted to dynamic. But I can't get disk 1 to join in. Can anyone tell if there is a way to do that?
