so should i delete last 2 partitions & then proceed with dynamic to basic or do as it is ??? as all 4 primary partitions are done & 1tb is unallocated then ...
or whot if i install win 7 on small hdd & keep this dynamic disk as external hdd ??? as fearing loss of data on partition (k drive) (pj_02) ... as i dont have big spare hdd for backup
or can this drive made in gpt & then install Win 10 ??? without lossing data

There are some programs that say they can convert dynamic to basic without data loss. But it is safer to back up important data first.

did proceed with Easeus software & it wiped all my hdd ...

all my data is gone ... how do i recover it back ???

before making it basic, Partion Wizard 4.2 gave me this error :



After converting to basic from Easeus software : showing this



windows : showing this




downloaded : Easeus data recovery software & it did scan all files ... bt why cant windows read while this software can ???

 

[bluezz]

should i revert back to dynamic & c ??? will it retain my data ???

 

[SIW2]

Back up any important data before attempting anything else.
There are several free data recovery programs you could try.

bluezz, you made so many mistakes.
- Never, ever make partitions changes without a backup. Converting to dynamic was the first but you could still backup your data. SIW2 alerted you twice to make a backup before you proceed to convert it back to basic.

I can be wrong but I would say that your data is gone.

@Megahertz07 ... yes you right, i should have backedup my data first & then should have proceed ... my mistake !!!

about data recovery, havent checked it ... have kept my hdd aside ... will do it asap & report here ...
