dynamic disk

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

A Windows 2000 feature that allows a single disk reference to span more than one physical disk volume. It also allows the disk to be resized without rebooting (resized "dynamically"). When formatted as a dynamic disk, the volume does not contain partitions. A regular disk partition is called a "basic" disk.
