Hello people!

I formatted my entire hard drive last night. And I don't know where I made a mistake and changed the drive type to DYNAMIC from BASIC ?

Now when I tried to reformat it, the other drives won't be formatted because they are in DYNAMIC type.

I tried some simple tips like >> going to the >> Manage (options under Right click of My computer)>> Storage >> Disk Management and deleted all partitions to change them Convert to Basic type again.

But that did not work. What should I do?

like Wally said, partition wizard is a nice free tool.

A dynamic partition is one that can be resized "on the fly". It certainly shouldn't affect the ability of other partitions to be formatted. The problem probably lies elsewhere.
