Unable to convert 7 partition disk (basic) to dynamic disk
I am running Windows 10 Pro.
I have an old 1Tb drive that used to be the boot (C) drive and also had partitions for two additional drives.
I since replaced that 1Tb drive with an SSD and another 2Tb second internal drive.
I've inserted the 1Tb in an external USB SATA dock. In Disk Management I was able to delete all the data volumes on the 1Tb, which then formed two unallocated sections, but there are 4 other partitions that I was not able to deleteDiskMgmtScreenShot.docx.
I then tried to convert the drive to a dynamic disk, but got an error saying "The operation is not supported by the object."
See attachment for screen shots.DiskMgmtScreenShot.docx
Is there any way to just reformat the entire drive, or to remove the partitions? I don't see FDisk in Windows 10.
How about putting this drive in the internal bay, and attempt to reformat it with the Windows 7 install disk, and just tell it to remove all partitions?
