I'm trying to convert a disk from basic to dynamic to mirror two volumes on another disk of equal size. I have used the disk before, but it is currently wiped clean, not even partitioned.
In disk management I see "465.32 GB - Unallocated" and "450 MB - Healthy (Recovery Partition)" on the disk.
When I try to convert it into a dynamic disk I get an error saying there isn't enough space on the disk.
Where do I even start to troubleshoot this? I'm on Windows 10 and I have used this particular disk for this very purpose before.

You get this problem when you have a large unallocated space. Create a dummy volume in this space, and then you will be able to convert the disk to dynamic. You can then delete the dummy volume if you want.
