I have a multiboot system with all partitions formatted NTFS; one partition
contains XP 64 and the other SBS2003.
I want to convert the basic disk containing these OSes to a dynamic disk,
but I understand I will not afterwards be able to boot either system (at
least that is what the conversion dialog warns). Therefore, I'm planning to
scratch the XP 64 system, located on c: and restore the SBS2003 system files
to the c: partition from an ntbackup. Other than the boot.ini file partition
description, are there any "gotchas" that I need to consider?
I plan to then scratch the original SBS2003 partition located on d: before
converting the drive.
