Dynamic disks

[Guest]

I have a SCSI Ultra 320 controller and have configured a RAID 5 configuration (three 18-Gb hard drives) for Windows Server 2003. Everything works fine. What if I convert the Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk in Computer Management? Any trouble with the RAID configuration? Possible BSOD ?

Thanks.

You can converted to Dynamic without problems when running on hardware
RAID. Hardware RAID is not seen by Windows, it is seen as any other hard
drive. Why are you converting to Dynamic though? Don't convert unless
you need to do so.
