A.5 Source Hard Drive is Dynamic Disk
Issue: When attempting to migrate from a RAID-Ready system to a full-RAID system, an error message is
received that says the migration cannot continue because the source drive is a dynamic disk. However,
Microsoft* Windows* Disk Management shows the disk as basic, not dynamic.
This issue may occur if there is not enough space for the migration to successfully complete. Instead of
reporting that there is not enough space, the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software reports that the
migration cannot continue because the source drive is a dynamic disk.
Note: This error is not related to the size of the destination hard drive(s). It may be received even if the
destination hard drive(s) are equal to or greater in size than the source hard drive.
To resolve this issue:
 If there is a single partition on the source hard drive, reducing the size of the partition by a few
MBs may resolve the issue and allow the migration to occur.
 If there are multiple partitions on the source hard drive, reducing the size of the second partition
by a few MBs may resolve the issue and allow the migration to occur.
