• Format and label volumes, assign volume letters and set volumes active
Make your basic or simple volume fault-tolerant in just one action by adding a mirror. If you need extra unallocated space
on a disk containing one of the mirrors, remove a mirror
Optimize your system by combining free space on different hard disk drives and get larger volume
Convert existing basic disks to Dynamic Disks to achieve additional disk reliability

Why would you need to convert an MBR disk to a GPT basic disk?
• If you need to make a volume who size is over 2TB

The Disk Cloning wizard lets you replace the old basic MBR disk with a new one without reinstalling operating systems
and applications
