Are you asking a new question, trying to reply to a previous one or what?
To convert a Dynamic Disk back to a Basic Disk you have to delete the
dynamic volume and then revert it back into a basic disk and create new
partition(s) on the disk. It goes without saying that all the data on
the disk will be lost, if you want to keep the data make a backup then
restore it on the disk after the conversion.
