System Reserved and (C:) Drives are Green (Simple Volume)

The problem is Jesse you have converted them from Basic to Dynamic .... Changing them back can very risky there is Software which is suppose to work with no data loss but i do not know of any Free Versions ... You can read the Link below BUT I Strongly Advise DO not attempt to make any changes until some other Member can advise you better than I can ...


Convert a dynamic disk to basic disk by three ways and software to change/revert to Basic Disk.


Making any of the changes in the Link I Posted could have devastating effects on your Computer ...


I will PM a few friends which should be able to help ...

You will need to back up all your data to a backup drive, then delete the dynamic partitions and create new, basic partitions. Basically you need to wipe the disk in order to make the change.

What I don't know is the best way to deal with your Windows installation on the C: partition.
I suppose you could make a disk image of that partition, and the former System Reserved partition and then after cleaning the disk or deleting the dynamic partitions you could create identically sized basic partitions and restore the images to them.
I just have never tried that and can't tell you if it will work.

Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk

This guy here says that Test Disk will convert non-destructively:

Always back up your data anyway!

Partition Wizard will also do the job, but the free version does not have that module, unfortunately. You would have to try a paid version of PW.

So.... What did you do?
