[Polp]

hallo,

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...

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.
