How to convert dynamic disk back to basic disk

Recently I installed windows 7 on my laptop. While installing I came to know that I can't make more than 4 disk partitions. After successful installation, I decided to shrink one of the highest space drive. Windows said I needed to convert the drives to dynamic for this purpose. I did that. Later that day I wanted to repartition my drives and install windows 8.1, windows restricted me to do so because the drives were dynamic. So after hours of struggle I was able to convert them back to basic and I think this information might me helpful for someone someday, hence posting it here:

1. Boot your system with windows installation dvd in it.
2. Click Repair your system.
3. Open command prompt.
4. Type diskpart
5. Type list disk
6. Type select disk 0
7. Type clean

Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all the disks which you have. That's all! Your factory fresh system is in your hands :)

The other side of Partitioning SD card to increase android's RAM

Partitioning SD card does free up a portion of internal memory for use as RAM. However, there are many not so positive side effects:

1. SD card needs re-partitioned and all your SD card data will be lost during process.
2. SD card speed rating plays a crucial role in the system's overall performance and stability.
3. If you remove SD card, phone will stop working.
4. SD card's life will get reduced and there will be extra wear and tear over time as SD cards, unlike EPROM in flash memory, aren't designed for many write cycles.
5. Device will not be stable. You may see application not responding more often.
6. If data corruption happens on SD card, phone will become inoperable, requiring a complete re-flashing of ROM and loss of all data.
