Hi

After that I've done a "Ghost" I can't not convert the disk to a dynamic
one. I don'T have the option if I right click on the disk in disk
management. The partition have 27 gb of free space.

The systems have windows xp sp2

why ?

thanks

IIRC, the preparation for adding a dynamic partition is that the
new partition has to be initially created and formatted. It cannot
start off as just "free space". But if the intent is to add more
space to an existing partition, then a third-party utility must be
used.

What kind of computer do you have and do you have XP Home Edition?
According to:

"How To Convert to Basic and Dynamic Disks in Windows XP Professional"
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309044>

"...Dynamic disks are not supported on portable computers or Microsoft
Windows XP Home Edition."

HTH,
John

Hello,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, please first check if you are using Windows XP Home Edition
or a laptop. If so, it is not supported convert.

Thanks & Regards,
