In a dynamic disk storage, a single partition is involved which covers the entire hard disk, while the disk is divided into number of volumes. A dynamic disk may hold the following volumes.
1. Spanned volumes 2. Mirrored volumes 3. Simple volumes 4. Striped volumes 5. RAID 5 volumes
On the other hand, basic disks use general partitions tables and hold basic volumes like 1. Extended partitions 2. Primary partitions 3. Logical drives.
If we want to convert a basic disk to dynamic disk, we need to use Disk Management tool and use the corresponding option by right clicking the basic disk to be converted.
Dynamic disk uses a database which is used to track all the information about dynamic volumes on system. It also contains information about other dynamic disks on computer. In case the system fails to create this database due to insufficient disk space or any other reason, the conversion of basic disk to dynamic disk will not be successful.
Some free space is must to create database for dynamic disk. In such cases, the system generates some errors related to insufficient disk space.
In order to upgrade the disks from basic to dynamic we need to format them to resolve the issue. So, it is suggested to the user to take the backup of all the data and check the backup status and backup media for reliability. In case of backup failure, File Recovery will be required.
File Recovery File recovery is needed when data backup gets failed to be restored from backup. In such situations, user can use File Recovery Software. File Recovery Software carry out scanning of affected media and hence retrieve lost information.
In order to get complete and safe Data Recovery results, it is suggested to use Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery. The product has been created to use most powerful scanning algorithms which can recover lost data in any case of logical data loss.
