ERROR_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME

ERROR_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME (0xC0380005) is a Windows Volume Manager HRESULT. The requested operation requires a disk with simple volumes, but the disk participates in a spanned, striped, mirrored, or RAID-5 layout.

What to check for ERROR_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME

Inspect the volume type and all member disks before changing the disk.
Do not treat one member disk as independent storage while it belongs to a multi-disk volume.
Use a workflow supported for that volume type, or move data to separate storage before restructuring it.

REM Diagnostic context: ERROR_VOLMGR_DISK_CONTAINS_NON_SIMPLE_VOLUME
