Convert Dynamic disk back to a Logical disk

[gerryh]

I've made a total balls up.
Managed to convert my HD on my laptop to a dynamic disk.
So, Acronis TrueImage won't recognise the disk so can't restore from backup.
Tried to install Windows 7 but that won't work because it's a dynamic disk.
HELP
Cheers
Gerry

Hi,

Suggest you make a search on the Internet. Plenty of solutions around depending on what you have and want to do. See
http://mypkb.wordpress.com/2007/03/28/h ... sic-disks/
for an example. Microdoze have an "offical" solution it seems, assuming you are not Mac.

Yes did a search but all the methods I found rely on there being a Windows OS on the disk.
My disk was empty.
Panic over, I booted Linux, from a CD and changed the disk to one recognisable by Acronis TI.
