I installed an old HDD that had separated partitions and I can't access the second partition. I was reading I should assign the drive a letter in diskmgmt, but it won't let me, it's just greyed out, the only option is to delete the partition(which I don't wanna do) and I can convert the whole drive to a dynamic disk, but I don't wanna do that cause I'm not sure what it does lol.
Thanks.
Edit: rubbish, as I was trying to figure it out, I thought I'd change the drive letter of the partition I could access, it said I needed to convert it to dynamic so I thought okay, guess dynamic must not be so bad after all! Now I can view the other partition in my computer, which I couldn't before, but when I click on it it says the drive needs to be formatted before being used. Did I screw up? I really want to access this drive, so please help.
