So I accidentally converted my basic disk to a Dynamic disk on Windows.
RIP.GG
I know, stupid mistake, but has anyone had experience with this where I don't need any shady wares? I've checked some apps, but they're mostly P2W (in a way) and was just wondering if anyone has any past experience with stupid mistakes like this and could perhaps suggest a good program/demo which will actually help.
Cheers~
If so, try loading it in something like puppy linux, that might be able to read some files. If not, CCleaner has some file recovery stuff I think.
If you haven't lost anything, just use diskpart and maybe backup stuff just in case.
Whatever you do don't delete the dynamic disk. I would suggest backing up everything you need and then reformatting accordingly.
There may be an option using Gparted on linux to restructure the partitions w/o losing data, but I never tried.
The funny thing is, it works, yet, when I connect it to other PC's around the house, I cant read or activate the disk, yet, when connected to my PC, I can read the data, but I can't use any of those apps to convert it back to a basic disk as it's got an MBR mark on it.
Shit. Guess I'll have to wait till I get another hard drive to back up to..
Edit I also don't have the space or drives to install a Linux install as some of you peeps are suggesting..
@Instant - I'll try to check that out and see how it works. Never used linux before though, but it can't be that bad..Can it..?
