I am receiving the following error when trying to extend a dynamic disk.
(see attached error)

The error reads: The selected volume was originally created on a basic disk
and cannot be extended.
Only volumes originally created on dynamic disks can be extended.

I need to increase the size of 2 (F & G)partitions on this disk. I have 69GB
of unallocated disk space at the end.
I also have (on another disk ) over 130GB of unallocated drive space.

How can I rezise these partitions?

TIA!

I think you're stuck.
Buy another 500 GByte disk, partition it the way you want it, then
copy the data across. Don't make it a dynamic disk unless you have
a good reason to do so - most partition managers won't touch them!
