WinXP won't let me convert a disk to dynamic

I have an 80Gb and a 200Gb disk connected to my motherboard, and a second
200Gb disk connected via a separate controller.

I had the 2 x 200 disks spanned together using the XP disk management utility.

Now, in a routine re-build of my system, while all disks appear to be
working OK, the disk management utility tells me that I have no space on the
2nd 200 disk to allow it to be converted to dynamic prior to spanning again.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks - this works, but leaves me with a different problem. As soon as I
delete the partition on the 200Gb drive on the sepratae controller, the
system begins to see it as having only 137Gb.

Thanks again,

Steven
