THis win 10 PC 22h2 - it was setup with 2 samsugn 1T drives as a mirrored with DYNAMIC DISK and then 2 hard drives spinning disks were also setup as dynamic disks. So not with firmware raid but windows dynamic disk it is believed they used the version that is outdated like the windows 2000 version that is outdated. This machine is having fits with synology nas, and its having problems in diskpart, the 2 samsung ssd drives show a ERROR under the diskpart, and list disk details tells me they are mirrored.
The goal is to make these volumes simple, make them normal make them all regular disks.
Disk manager is showing all disks with a red warning. Macrium is showing them with brown. I was able to make a image of the 2 Samsung mirrored disks. AND I am able to MOUNT this image I made and I copied some files out of this disk and opened them. The image is valid. THE OS is on the 2 samsung mirrored disks. I want to find out if the boot partition actually lives on both or 1 drive. Since the goal is to get the OS on a normal standard disk that is image backup and restore friendly - And the goal is to do this with both of them. I read that a dynamic disk is one thing that all these are setup under one setup. SO the 2 spinning disks are showing a error because any disk in the setup cause effect all others. ? I have never used dynamic disks - many firmware raid 0 and 1 but not Dynamic Disks. Also it appears the amount of data is off its showing 468gig when very little data is on the OS drive. The errors began 11-2025 its error flag shows its hardware. So it could be cables. ? How do I test these dynamic disk setups ? Do I really need to repair the mirror error or dynamic disk error before I unplug one of the disks and delete the mirror or ?? diskmgmnt.msc is the program that is used to create these dynamic disks ? Right ? I have not done this before. So I dont really know how to undo it. The goal is to make all the drives basic disks, open them up for storage and use external drives to backup.
