In (XP) DISK MANAGEMENT, what does Dynamic mean?
I have 5 seperate sata hard drives installed on my Win XP machine. Non raid.
2 drives show dynamic 3 drives show basic What is difference between basic and dynamic? Should they all be basic and if so, how do I change dynamic drives to basic?? Last edited by BKSinAZ : 05-10-2008 at 02:46 PM. |

Re: In (XP) DISK MANAGEMENT, what does Dynamic mean?
Hi
 Dynamic disks are mostly used for RAID in servers. Windows versions supporting dynamic disks are: Windows 2000 Windows XP Professional Windows Server 2003 Windows Vista Enterprise Windows Vista Ultimate Basic disks are supported by all Windows versions. Basic Storage Versus Dynamic Storage in Windows XP You cannot convert a dynamic disk to basic without formatting - i.e. copy data on the disk to another drive, then format configured as basic. How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP.
