INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to roll back a computer after you convert a disk partition from a Basic Disk volume to a Dynamic Disk volume in Winternals Recovery Manager 3.0.



MORE INFORMATION
When you convert a disk partition from a Basic Disk volume to a Dynamic Disk volume, you can roll back the computer by using the Bare Metal Recovery Set.

To do this, you have to create a recovery point that contains the Bare Metal Recovery Set. Additionally, you have to add the System Recovery Set and the User Data Recovery Set to the recovery point. This is because the Bare Metal Recovery Set protects only disk information.

The Bare Metal Recovery Set protects disk information such as the following information:
 * The master boot record (MBR)
 * Volume information
 * The logical disk management database

Recovery Manager 3.0 includes the All Files Recovery Set that protects all files from all volumes.

You can roll back a computer by using a recovery point even if you have replaced the hard disk drive. To do this, you have to add the All Files Recovery Set and the Bare Metal Recovery Set to the recovery point.
