Cannot convert to dyamic disk.

I want to make a striped array with two WD 250gb sata drives. However, I
cannot convert the disks to dynamic. The option is not available!!

Running Vista Home Premium
intel MB 945GPM
using the onboard sata controller

Any help would be great.

Cheers,

Brandon

Are you trying to make the striped array on the drive the OS is installed
on? If so, you cannot do that from within windows. You would have to create
the array in your mobo BIOS then install windows to that array. Which means
your current install of vista would be wiped, so backup your data!
