Dynamic Volumes & Basic Disks????

| Trying to understand Win2000 disk management, Basic & Dynamic disks.
1. By default all Win2000 disks are Basic disks ie, partitions,extended
partitions and logical drives.
2. You upgrade a basic disk to dynamic disk volumes.
I understand the above.
Now what I don't understand.
3. Dynamic volumes upgraded from basic disk can not be extended.
4. Volumes created after the disk was upgraded can be extended.
If all disk in Win2000 start off as Basic disks and must be converted to
dynamic as in 1 & 2,
then it seems that no dynamic disk volumes can be extended as in 3.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Nick

| 3: Dynamic volumes upgraded from basic disk can not be extended.
Correct, if you have a partition thas was originaly created in a BASIC DISK
an then converted to DYNAMIC...you can not extend it......You can see it
with the boot partition, because the boot partition is allways created in a
Basic Disk and then converted to dynamic.
4: Volumes created after the disk was upgraded can be extended.
Yes, if you upgrade a basic disk to dynamic, all the volumes that you create
after the conversion can be extended.
I hope this help.....................(I'm sorry my english is poor!.....i'm
a spanish native speaker)
