Problem while creating new partition on hard disk.
First sorry for bad english.
I am using Hitachi hard disk (Hitachi HDS721050CLA SCSI Disk Device) which has actual size of 466 GB, on windows 7. When i assembled PC from retailer he made three partitions of size C=151, D=152, E=162 GB. I had no idea about partitions at that time.
Now I understand that making more partitions will be useful for data management so I moved all my important data to E drive. And as my system was slow i also wanted format windows 7.
While formatting i deleted C drive(System) and D drive(which was labelled as logical), which Created about 300 GB free space. First I created 1 drive with size of 120 GB. while creating this drive windows pop up with message saying something like this, 'For security reasons windows will create one additional drive".So It created two drives , one with 120 GB and second with 100 GB.It Still shows 183 GB free space was left. I created one extra drive with 90 GB space. After creating this drive 93 GB free space was left on hard disk. But there was no option to make additional drive. So i completed format and re-installed windows 7.
Now i have three drives, Newly created C=120, D=90 and old E=162 GB plus 93 GB free space. When computer restart after format, it open D drive in auto-play menu like DVD, which was totally unusual for me and it even ask me to format it.
Now the problem is i want to create new partition from with that 93 GB free space. So i opened disk management tool. Then while creating a new simple volume at unallocate space i have this message before creating
"the operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk to dynamic disk,if you convert the disk to dynamic you will not be able to start installed OS from any volume(expect the current boot volume).
Does something wrong is happening with me, some users are saying that this will destroy hard disk. My PC is just one year old. So i simply cant buy new hard disk. Should i proceed or better loose my valuable 93 GB space.
