Explanation

Dynamic disks in Windows support advanced volume features including extending a partition into unallocated space, even across multiple physical disks (spanned volumes). Basic disks have limited partition management capabilities and do not support extending volumes across disks. Formatting to FAT32 or installing a second drive alone does not enable partition extension.
