Convert Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk In Windows Vista

From a article, I noted how to upgrade your operating system from Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista, only to then find that you can't access your partition on a dynamic disk if Vista Edition is a Vista Home Basic or Vista Home Premium. This is most likely due to your version of Vista Home version not supporting dynamic disk, which probably need to upgrade to Vista Ultimate Edition, to be able to access the dynamic disc. If you aren't prepared to do that, but still hope to be able to use the disk, you only can convert it back to a basic disk for the problem. The back is that you will lose all of your data, since the process is to first delete the partition on the disk unless you choose to use Aomei Dynamic Disk Converter tool for the conversion back to basic disk in Vista. Otherwise, you may back up data requried to avoid data loss.
