There is a review of DDC: “Today I used the Dynamic Disk Converter in two different OS, a windows 7 desktop computer and a SBS 2003 server. Both machines had together three dynamic volumes for some unknown reasons. So we had to change to a basic partition NTFS. This tool took about five seconds and a reboot for each partition to complete the job. Great saving time tool and the DDC did what you promised he would do!”
