    hi,

    i have made disk partition using shrink volume. the volume has been created as simple volume. but the problem is that all partitions become simple volumes after shrinking including c drive.

    And before shrinking disc 0 is a basic volume. 

    now it converted into dynamic disc while shrinking the volumes. 

    same i have done in windows 7 pro and there these things was not happened to me.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    I tried to shrink a volume in Windows 8. But havenot got the same problem. Maybe you click Convert to Dynamic Disk by accident?

    Hi,

    I understand. If your disk is already a Dynamic one. We cannot change it back to Basic. Maybe some 3rd parties provide a too that can do this. But it will be at your own rist if you try.

    fwiw.  The free MiniTools Partition wizard has options that converts dynamic, and others too,  to basic.

    yeah but there is also a option to convert dynamic to basic, a warning message appear while shrinking "if you convert to dynamic you may not able to boot this computer".

    And one more thing all volumes become simple volumes after shrinking.
