how to extend dynamic boot disk
Hi Experts,
I have a server that has only one disk with one partion, C drive. The C drive has the boot partion and all the applications on it. I need to expand the C partion to 100 GB. I attached another disk to the server and make the second disk dynamic disk with NTFS.
How can I expand my C ( disk 0 ) to use some space on the new disk?
I also converted disk 0 to be dynamic as well.
Thanks

Dynamic disks are a microsoft concept - not an industry standard. You should always use basic disks unless you have a good reason not to (need to use a software RAID (hardware RAID is preferred), or need to use a GPT based disk for a partition larger than 2 TB).
But you can't convert back to basic easily - without wiping and reinstalling/restoring.

Could you explain to me why there aren't many applications that can work with Dynamic Disks?
Are you suggesting using basic disks?
Thanks
