Trying to reformat a Dynamic volume containing windows boot files into a Primary empty volume. Old HDD containing windows 8.1 that I wanted to repurpose into a storage disk. Sleep deprived I somehow managed to turn it from Primary to Dynamic and have been struggling to convert it back.Cant convert Dynamic to basic because the drive needs to be empty.Cant use “clean” or “delete partition” because the drive is Dynamic and contains boot files.Cant delete volume because the drive contains boot files.I’m pretty lost..
