Dynamic versus Basic Disk

[ziloo]

Hello Folks,

I am trying to get a multi-OS system going on my computer.  The OS selector
software tells me that it doesn't like the dynamic disk I have set up (although
I had no idea Win 7 had partitioned my disk as dynamic), and it doesn't deal
with dynamic disks.

1- For a regular user, is there any advantages in using dynamic disk configuration?
2- Would converting from Dynamic to Basic cause any disadvantages/deficiencies?

Thank you

Unless you know the answer already, you should start with BASIC disc.
What are basic and dynamic disks?

Basic disks and dynamic disks are two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage. Advanced users and IT professionals can make use of dynamic disks, which use multiple hard disks within a computer to manage data, usually for increased performance or reliability.

The above says essentially what I  just said. If you don't know, go basic.

Very simplified theory: In professional scenarios,  there are disparate programs, users and demands placed on a computer system. The dynamic disc can optimize performance by improvement of speed in real-time.
Does that help?

Thank you very much Geek-9pm 

On another note using another browser, I got a message
that says:
 
"Sorry ziloo, you are banned from using this forum!
Spam
This ban is not set to expire."

Can somebody explain to me what is going on 
What have I done to deserve such condemnation
