Another approach the OP could conceivably employ would be to rectify the current abysmal configuration of his secondary HDD by using a disk-cloning program that had the capability of cloning the contents of a Dynamic Disk to a destination drive and manipulate the latter to create a sensible configuration on that drive. Very wasteful on available drive space.ġ. Yeah, I didn't want to comment on that abysmal partitioning scheme. But of course, 'you pays yer muny and yer taikes yer cherce'. So now you would have a GPT-partitioned secondary Basic drive and you could organize your partitions in some sensible fashion - perhaps contemplating organizing your data on that drive via the creation of folders rather than create that multi-partitioned scheme. It's a relatively simple process using the AOMEI program I've mentioned.Ħ. In view of the multiple (six) partitions on the drive this avoids a number of the drive's current six partitions being configured as Logical Drives (partitions).

So a follow-up conversion process to from MBR to GPT is then necessary. As a result of that conversion the GPT-partitioning scheme is replaced by the MBR-partitioning scheme. Basically the process would be to first convert the drive to from a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk.

One we particularly like is the AOEMI Partition Assistant Pro program, however, it is a commercial program that includes a Dynamic Disk Manager program.ĥ. We use a number of different PM programs. I'm not familiar enough with the GParted program recommended by gasaraki so I can't comment on whether that freely-available program would do the job. Their 'professional' (commercial) version does I believe.

Unfortunately (AFAIK, the freely-available pm programs such as the one you've used, i.e., the Easeus program, do not possess this capability). You will need a third-party partition management program to accomplish the desired goal.

Unfortunately this is not a simple, straightforward process in your situation since the Windows built-in utilities do not provide this capability.Ĥ. The problem you face is converting the drive from a Dynamic Disk to a Basic Disk as the first step in getting your secondary drive in some sensible configuration insofar as its partitioning scheme.ģ. First of all.that 1 TB secondary drive should be a Basic Disk, NOT a Dynamic Disk.Ģ. Your problem is correcting the shambles of your secondary drive's configuration.ġ. Your problem isn't really one of being unable to shrink a partition.
