Dynamic Disk to Basic

Thread needs solution

I am attempting to move a system from a dynamic disk to a Basic disk. I did a full backup to a usb drive from the dynamic system disk. I then did a restore to the basic disk. I changed the boot order in bios to boot from the basic disk. No boot. Just a blinking cursor that indicates the drive is not bootable. Any suggestions?

I am in the same situation. I have not tried to do the back up and restore, but need to convert from dynamic to basic. Any help please

I guess you restored your dynamic GPT disk to an MBR basic disk, and that is problem. You could restore your dynamic GPT disk to a basic GPT disk. Just restore partition by partition instead of restoring the whole disk. That should work.
