hi brad! ummmm, dynamic disks can contain only dynamic volumes (that is, volumes created with Disk Management). Dynamic disks cannot contain partitions or logical drives, nor can they be accessed by MS-DOS. not sure on this one, but i would suspect your best bet is to ghost the files over to another machine, then break the mirror and use a 3rd party prog like Partition Magic to do the do and then ghost it back. hope this works and good luck- bob
