I'm currently studying for the 70-215 and the documentation says first break the mirror, upgrade each disk to dynamic and then re-engage the mirror. Try to MCSE boxed set from Microsoft --all of this information is listed. I think the set is ...$200, but well worth it.

Single server, 25 user network, ended up blowing it away and loading fresh, after a pizza and a Guinness about 9 pm. <g> Will now always migrate to another server, which I had done previously and since. PS. this Basic versus Dynamic disk business didn't appear in any documentation that I saw. Then there is this other issue about having free space at the end of the drive to be able to convert to Dynamic.
