A logical disk that is managed by Array Manager software. Dynamic disks can contain only dynamic volumes (that is, volumes created with Array Manager software). Dynamic disks cannot contain partitions or logical drives, nor can they be accessed by MS-DOS or Windows 95®/98. See also Dynamic volume, Partition. There are particular considerations regarding dynamic disks and volumes on NetWare, Windows Server 2003, and Linux. See Dynamic Disk and Volume Support on NetWare, Windows Server 2003, and Linux for more information.
A physical disk that can be used with Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP operating systems. Dynamic disks enable the manipulation of the partitions and volumes contained on them, without the need for a complete disk format.
a disk that has been initialization with the dynamic storage standard which is a single partition that includes the entire disk that can be divided into volumes
a drive configured by the Disk Management console so that it can support volume management
a physical disk that can contain dynamic volumes created with Volume Manager
a Physical Disk that contains Dynamic Volumes created using Disk Management
a single partition that can be divided into separate volumes
A new feature added to windows 2000 making the hard drive more secure and redundant.
A disk that supports volume sets after you use Win2K's Disk Management utility to convert the disk from basic to dynamic storage. Only Win2K can use dynamic disks, and dynamic disks can't contain partitions or logical drives.
A dynamic disk is a physical disk that provides features that basic disks do not, such as support for volumes spanning multiple disks. Dynamic disks use a hidden database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and other dynamic disks in the computer.
A physical disk that can be accessed only by Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Dynamic disks provide features that basic disks do not, such as support for volumes that span multiple disks. Dynamic disks use a hidden database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and other dynamic disks in the computer. You convert basic disks to dynamic by using the Disk Management snap-in or the DiskPart command line utility. When you convert a basic disk to dynamic, all existing basic volumes become dynamic volumes. See also: active volume; basic disk; basic volume; dynamic volume; volume
