MBR (Master Boot Record): Introduced in 1983, MBR is an older partitioning scheme used in many legacy systems; MBR supports a maximum disk size of 2TB and can only have up to four primary partitions; It stores
MBR and partition 2. GPT. It does not contain partitions. It has simple volume, spanned volume, striped volume, mirrored volume, and RAID-5 volume. It can easily be convertible to dynamic disk without data loss. To convert into a dynamic disk all the volume must be deleted. To avoid ...
Converting a disk from basic to dynamic is easy to do, but as with any task, perform this process with caution. This is to prevent any data loss or system corruption since you are going to be modifying system functions.
The primary reason for this issue is the lack of at least 1MB of unallocated space at the end of the MBR disk. This space is necessary to create the database for the dynamic disk. You could try to create a dummy volume in this space. ...
For this problem, you must know that you must have at least 1MB of unallocated space at the end of the MBR disk that you want to convert to create the database for the dynamic disk. This space is automatically reserved when the partition or volume is created in Microsoft Windows 2000 or...
