QUESTION: I want to convert Dynamic Disk with Simple Volumes into a Basic one, but "Convert to Basic..." is greyed out in the menu.

ANSWER: About 10% of each volume on the disk should be free in order to convert this disk to basic. CuteBackup requires only three cylinders of free space (~24 MB) to convert Dynamic Disk into a Basic one. Additionally, if you have dynamic mirror you should break the mirror before converting the dynamic HDD into basic.
