OK, hold on.
I thought we were past that.
Is the current HDD still the primary drive it boots form, and is it still a Dynamic disk?
yes. i have backed up the hdd to a seperate hdd and was going to delete the hdd i am operating from and then change it to a basic disk. but i am trying to see if that is possible without putting it into a desktop to change it. i only have one os hard drive and its the one i need cloned. so if i cant do this then im just gonna say screw it and buy windows boot disk and start from scratch.
Mostly irrelevant, but backed up how?
Macrium apparently won't clone from a Dynamic disk.
You need to change that somehow.
Or just start over with a clean install.
