First, backup all data and partitions on the dynamic disk. Then delete all partitions from Disk Management (in Windows). Right-click on the disk and select Convert to Basic.
Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk
Of course, you will not be able to recover the data on the deleted partitions, so make sure to backup everything you want to keep.

yeah Its a project for university, I installed server 2003 fresh install and set up the dns server and domain controller. i had to split the main partition into two seperate volumes thats why i was using gparted to re-size since the function is disabled in server 2003. I was hoping there was a way to do it without re-formatting but thanks anyways.
