Acronis thinks my basic disks are dynamic
I am trying to clone one disk to another and Windows 10, under disk management, shows both as basic disks. Yet when I start the cloning procedure from the rescue disk, I pick the source disk (1TB) and then click Next. It sits there with a little animated clock for about a minute and then goes on to ask me for the destination disk (2TB). After I pick the destination disk it prompts for MBR or GPT. I choose MBR which is the option that will copy partitions as is. It then gives me the message "Unable to lock the dynamic disk. Boot your computer from a Linux-based bootable media, and then try again." I saw an article on the web for a past version of Acronis where Acronis thought the disks were dynamic while Windows showed them as basic, but the article kind of died without resolution. Can you help?
