hallo,
i know it has been discused here some times ago, but I need to confirm it
is possible, even with some risk of loosing data. Please, would anybody send
me EXACT "description how to do it (because i am not file system guru...).
My configuration is as follows :

w2000 SBS , DC
1 HDD , 3 partition, all primary (c, d, e), disk is dynamic

we have switched disks to dynamic because need some time ago, but now we
need to try resize partition by powerquest volumemanager, and it is not
possible on dynamics disks...

thanks for any help

Hello,

DiskPatch can scan you drive for partitions. If you select the partitions to
be recovered, DiskPatch will add them to the partition table,
'basic-disk-style'.

If you prior to attempting 'the recovery' use DiskPatch to backup the MBR +
LDM you can undo the recovery in case of undesired results.

Kind regards,
Joep

The only note. It seems that PM does not set active flag for converted partitions. You should do it manually.
