Windows disk manager is part of the Computer Management Console in Administrative Tools. There has a problem about Dynamic Disk is that it can't be supported by all versions of Windows. For example, Win 7, XP, Vista Home Edition do not support dynamic disc, so you may cost more for advanced Windows edition (like Windows 7 Ultimate Edition) in order to use the feature.
Google the relevant keyword, you will find many discussions of people who updated OS to Vista and then the disk appears as invalid dynamic disk. The reason is that dynamic disks are only usable in Windows Ultimate, Enterprise, Business and Server Edition.
User Cases:
* I appended a secondary hard disk and initialized it as dynamic disk and now the disk appears as Dynamic Invalid. Is there method that allows me to make it valid? There are not available ways to resolve the issue which I found, so I have to seek help.
* I have two computers, based on my needs, I changed over motherboard, and now one of disks is not showing any files. Go to the disk manager the drive comes up as "Dynamic Invalid". I have tired data recovery utility but no success. How to get the data in that drive.
* I have a weird problem with 2 USB dynamic drives. After I upgrade my Vista Ultimate to Win7 Home Edition, it did not recognize these disks and it becomes invalid disk. Now, no ways could solve the problem. One available way is you have to convert the invalid dynamic hard drive back to basic. It will lead to data loss if you directly use built-in disk manager to convert back. The 3rd party tool like Dynamic Disk Converter is needed for repairing invalid dynamic disk without data loss.
