Windows 2000 introduced the concept of dynamic disks, which let you implement RAID-type disk configurations (e.g., disk mirroring, fault-tolerant striping) and make disk and volume changes without rebooting. Although Microsoft doesn’t support dynamic disks on most laptops, you can enable a dynamic disk on your laptop. Alternatively, you might want to prevent users from upgrading their desktop computers from a basic disk to a dynamic disk.
A registry key controls the ability to upgrade a disk to a dynamic disk. To set this registry key, perform the following steps:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\IDConfigDBCurrentDockInfo
sub key.

Do NOT upgrade your disks from Basic to Dynamic by using a custom made MMC!
