Some volumes will be lost after converting dynamic disk to basic
This article applies to: Dynamic Disk Converter
Introduction:
To convert a dynamic disk to basic, you may encounter a prompt that some volumes will be lost
The software cannot convert a dynamic disk larger than 2TB to basic and cannot directly convert spanned/stripped/Raid5 volumes to basic partitions.
Situation 1:
Converting a dynamic disk with spanned/stripped/Raid5 volumes created on, you will get the information like in the screenshot below:
It immediately converts the dynamic disk into a base disk.
To back up the files, you can use Qiling Disk Master.
Situation 2:
There are only volumes which are marked as simple volumes on the source dynamic disk, but you still have the problem.
This issue will only occur when the simple volume occupies 2 or more slices, as seen in the screenshot where there are two E's on the dynamic disk.
This method is impracticable if there are data saved on 2 or more slices of the volume.
