Converts a basic disk into a dynamic disk.

For examples of how this command can be used, see Examples.

Syntax

convert dynamic [noerr]

Parameters

Parameter Description

noerr

For scripting only. When an error is encountered, DiskPart continues to process commands as if the error did not occur. Without this parameter, an error causes DiskPart to exit with an error code.

Remarks

  • Any existing partitions on the basic disk become simple volumes.

  • A basic disk must be selected for this operation to succeed. Use the select disk command to select a basic disk and shift the focus to it.

Examples

To convert a basic disk into a dynamic disk, type:

convert dynamic
