It is raw (green bar) but I am unable to delete it again. When I right click
on the block the only option I get is "New Simple Volume". "New Spanned

The disk is a "Basic" disk. Does this make a difference? If it has to be
dynamic, is there any disadvantage to converting my only disk (holds OS and
storage) into a dynamic disk?
