Re: Conversion of Dynamic to basic Partition

Used testDisk 7.0
I am not a software person so would have liked a tool than does not require a degree in Computer Science . Manged to do it by myself at end of the day

Re: Conversion of Dynamic to basic Partition

after lots of mucking about with diskpart and test disk I discovered a pagefile.sys file in the root. Deleted it and then windows would allow me to delete. Test disk was still confused and gave me file partition none . Problem sorted .
