You can typically resize dynamic partitions within Windows 2K / XP, but
you cannot resize system partitions regardless of whether they are
dynamic or not using the Windows Disk Management console.  Partition
magic 7 or above should be able to resize a dynamic drive I believe.

Good luck,

You also can re-partition a dynamic drive through the disk management =

If a drive is dynamic you can use it for fancy things like spanning a =

cannot =3D access it from anything other than W2K and XP.

Hi list,

I added in 80 GB drive to my computer and when I opened up the MMC and
went to the disk management portion, I got a "initialize disk" wizard
that I don't typically see. I was curious about it, so I let the wizard
do what it wanted to do and went through with the defaults. My new drive
is now a dynamic disk. I never paid attention to any of the dynamic disk
discussion, so I don't know what that means. What does it mean and
should it matter to me? This is my computer at home. My intentions with
this drive are to schedule jobs with ntbackup on my home server to
backup all my data to this new drive in my computer.

Thanks,

Ray at home
