Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

Sorry, but you're confusing different things.  Disk space is not memory, and memory is not disk space.

There is a hard limit of 4 upper-level partitions in an MBR-formatted drive. If your FORCE the creation of any more, you will be presented with a WARNING message, which apparently did not see or ignored.

NOW, your partitions have been converted from Basic Volumes to Dynamic Drives.  There is no foolproof method of converting them back that guarantees that not data is lost.

Disk Management can do that, but it will not necessarily preserve the existing data -- as MS advises that you back up the contents of ALL the dynamic disks before you use it.

This third-party utility claims to be able to do that conversion, but I have not used it:  http://www.partition-tool.com/easeus-partition-manager/convert-dynamic-disk-to-basic-disk.htm

Good Luck
