    delete the volumes

    use diskpart to mark the other disk as inactive

    So you're certain that deleting the won't affect the existing drives?

    And what would be the Diskpart commands? I've never used Diskpart before.

    Thanks! :)

    yeah they say missing so they aren't there.

    Diskpart commands: open elevated command prompt (aka command prompt as admin)

    type in:
    Code:
    diskpart
    select disk 1
    select partition 1
    inactive
    exit
    
    Also don't mess with Dynamic volumes, most imaging/backup software can't back them up and/or partition them.

    Ok, I'll do that.

    I was under the impression that Dynamic disks provided some advantage over Basic?
