    Hi, I have problem with dynamic disk and appreciate any help.

    Basically I used 2xDELL PE 2970 for Hyper-V cluster and found my server
    don’t have hardware RAID!!! Ok, so decided to use software Windows solution.
    After installed everything and adding virtual machines to cluster resources
    my HDDs crushed. Researched and found problem is in software mirror which
    shouldn’t work with cluster.

    I decided to buy hardware RAID. However I don’t want to reinstall system so
    need to convert dynamic system disk to basic. I tried to take full Windows
    Server 2008 backup, than converted disk to basic and restore backup. After
    system restoration I found that is sitting on dynamic disk!!!

    How I can came back to basic without using any third party software? Please
    help me.

    Regards
