    It is not the recovery partition that is important, it is the EFI partition (100MB partition) that is the primary problem. The recovery partition I suggested to be deleted because it's a literal waste of space as it's not used because of the recovery partition on the other drive. This waste is tiny though and nothing of concern unless the 1GB could be used.

    Do you have a backup of the data on the D drive? You can convert the drive to a basic drive, there are tutorials online that guide through the process of converting without data loss, but I would not try it without a backup first. I've needed to convert a dynamic partition once, it went well because I took precaution as the built-in tools I believe do not allow for this conversion without data loss. The tools you have should allow for conversion without data loss, but again I recommend a backup prior attempting it.

    I have partial backup of data on the D drive. Copying the entire data on it after a wipeout would take a long time. I haven't found any tutorial online for converting the partition without data loss. There was one that recommended AOMEI Partition Assistant but it didn't work like what was shown in the video. The video showed the option for conversion and on the contrary, either I didn't get the options or after pressing the button, I got the error message.

    Can you please direct me to a tutorial that shows conversion without data loss?

    EaseUs and Partition Wizard should be able to do this, though I believe either of them offer it in a paid edition. Alternatively you could use Kyhi's bootable disk containing tons of tools for various usages.

    One link I found is with EaseUs, but I am not completely sure if this works as expected because most guides are about an entire disk with one single partition.

    I already tried EaseUS and Minitools as mentioned in post 44 and 50. I'll now try my luck with Kyhi's bootable disk method. Thanks!

    I may have missed it, but I do not see you trying with EaseUs to do the dynamic to basic conversion.

    I do a right click on 1GB and 100mb partition and I don't see any option. Click on the gif to view the recording.

    This was the same thing happening here. When I right clicked, I didn't get any option to delete or convert anything.

    If that's the case, I unfortunately don't have another option in attempt to fix this other than wiping the drive which I do not recommend doing without having a recent backup.

    Wanted to share an update regarding this. I haven't faced this BSOD all this while. I didn't do anything in my hard drive. The trouble seems to have gone away on its own. Thanks a lot for your support.
