1. Back up your important data before trying to convert dynamic partitions to basic.

One way to convert them back to basic is to use software, use Easeus Partition Master to do it.

I can't get windows to start up in the past I had to reset back to factory. It worked fine last night then I feel asleep woke up it was off tried to start it and have been looking at "starting windows" for an hour I have home work that is due. This is the second machine k have got from HP the first one was sold to me with a faulty hard drive. I had to pay to replace it. I bought them from State Fair Community College in Missouri there have been a lot of other students that have been having the same problems. I will be replacing my HP probook with a MAC! I am tired of dealing with the constant issues that these computer have. I am sick of my grades being affected cause I don't have reliable computers!
