Configuring Volumes

Windows Server 2003 identifies the disk space in a dynamic disk as a volume. You can create any number of volumes on a dynamic disk. You must convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk to configure volumes on a hard disk.

To convert a basic into a dynamic disk:

1. Open Computer Management console.

2. Click Disk Management.

3. Select the disk you want to convert.

4. Select Action > All Tasks > Convert to Dynamic Disk. Windows Server 2003 converts the basic disk a dynamic disk.
