My (C:) drive changed from Basic to Dynamic, is this bad?
- by bbman225
I'm really worried here. My computer still runs, so I take this as a good sign, however let me explain my situation:
I am trying to install Ubuntu Linux, and the installer was having problems, so I went back into the partitioning tool on my Windows 7 (after having successfully shrunken my C drive and created 55 GB unallocated space) and I attempted to create a new partition out of the 55 GB and make it a simple NTFS drive so that I could let the installer wipe it clean again and format it in whatever file system it prefers.
Now, after googling it and running through the process I noticed that all of my drives, including the C drive and the one I just made changed from type "Basic" to type "Dynamic."
What is a dynamic drive and should I be worried?
