Windows 2003 disk convertions
What will happen if I convert c:\ drive with windows server 2003 installed from basic disk to dynamic disk?
Thanks

It will become a dynamic disk! There will be no data lost or anything like that. Note that you cannot convert it into a basic disk once this is done. It is a one-time operation.
But the question really is why do you want to convert it to a dynamic disk. The only benefit is if you want to mirror or stripe it with another disk.If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote. If it answered your question, remember to mark it as an "Answer".
