Dynamic disk?
I've just bought an HP DV6 2113-SA laptop. It has Win7 HP 64 bit installed. As it has a 500 GB hdd I wanted to create a backup partition, leaving about 100gb for the C:\Windows partition. This is so that when I run Acronis True Image 2010 it kept the image to a more manageable size and I needed the backup partition to store the images (I would have also kept a copy elsewhere as well). I also wanted to get as much space on the backup partition so I could do some (basic) video editing.
It wasn't until I installed Acronis that I found that it did not support dynamic disks. Is this due to the Win 7 64 bit version as I also have 32 bit Win 7 which is fine?
I see that Acronis do a Plus pack which give support to dynamic disks but is that the only solution?
I'm normally quite happy with disk imaging but I would hate to foul something up here. I have already shrunk C:\ and created a partition in the unallocated space. Is that OK to do or should I revert back to just C:\? I should also mention that there are D:\Recovery and E:\HP Tools partitions.
I'm confused by this dynamic disk thing as I didn't expect that at all!
Hoping someone can advise.
