Now you can easily install Both Windows and Ubuntu. Select disk 0 #(The number may be different in your system)Ĭlean #( Erases Everything (including windows)) In Advanced Options, go to Command Prompt I will tell you with DISKPARTīoot into any Windows installation media and go to " Repair my computer" You can use any good tool for conversion. You need to convert your Dynamic Disk to Basic Disk. This is the reason why Gparted is acting weirdly With dynamic disks you can create volumes that span multiple disks such as spanned and striped volumes, and can also create fault-tolerant volumes such as mirrored volumes and RAID 5 volumes. Dynamic disks do not use a partition table to track all partitions, but use a hidden database (LDM) to track information about dynamic volumes or dynamic partitions on the disk ( which Gparted is not understanding). This behavior changes among the nodes, sometimes Node1 shows this behavior and then it turns to Node2 and so on. A basic disk contains basic volumes, such as primary partitions, extended partition, and all logical partitions are contained in extended partition.ĭynamic Disk is supported in Windows 2000 and later operating system ( only). When the Disk Management is open to view disk information, it does not display any information regarding virtual disks instead hangs on 'Loading Disk Configuration Information'. A disk with installed OS would be default initialized to a basic one. Ubuntu (I would say all Linux OS) and bootloader GRUB cannot recognize a Microsoft dynamic disk/volume/partition (SFS), and so they cannot boot from it.īasic Disk uses a partition table to manage all partitions on the disk, and it is supported by all Linux OS, DOS and all Windows versions. It is easy to make out from your screen-shot that you are using Dynamic Type disk : We have seen reports of the Windows 10 Disk Management not working, loading, or responding, and in this post, we will share the possible solutions for the same.
