== Converting Basic Disks to Dynamic Disks with Disk Management ==

Windows Server 2008 allows basic disks to be converted to dynamic disks using the Disk Management interface. Before covering the steps to perform such a conversion there are a number of rules which need to be observed.

Assuming that the Disk Management snap-in is currently running, right click on the first disk drive and select ''New Spanned Volume...'' from the popup menu. This will invoke the ''New Spanned Volume Wizard''. Click ''Next'' on the welcome screen to proceed to the disk selection screen as illustrated in the following figure:
