Changing a Dynamic Disk back to Basic
I was changing some partitions in the Disk Management tool in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management, and I accidently changed my boot drive to a dynamic disk (I thought it would only change the volume to dynamic, not the whole disk). According to Windows 7, the OS can't boot if it's on a dynamic disk, so I need to change it back. Did some research and found that the only way to do this is to clear all partitions from the drive. So here's where am I at:
It seems that I need to move all of my data to Disk 1, so that I can revert the other two drives to Basic and then move the necessary data back. I've got the space to do this, so I was wondering: How does the process of moving (or copying) the OS's files go? And am I going about this the right way?
Thanks
