Hardware Questions and Answers - Convert a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk

Vijay writes in with a hardware question:
Q. How to convert a dynamic disk to a basic disk?

A. You won’t be able to do this without losing data except for maybe a couple of exceptions. If you do not have to worry about data loss or doing it on your Windows system drive check out this article from Microsoft.
 
Here is a way to do it without data loss but I have not tried it so do so at your own risk.
