I turned on dynamic disks in win2k a while ago ( I was searching for better performance) but now I want to turn it off to work with some new partition resizing software I am trying.

can this be done?

Here is a good article on it.

Warning: After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, local access to the dynamic disk is limited to Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional. Additionally, after you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, the dynamic volumes cannot be changed back to partitions. You must first delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then convert the dynamic disk back to a basic disk. If you want to keep your data, you must first back up the data or move it to another volume
 
The only way back from a dynamic disk is to wipe all partitioning and formatting info on the volume.

You can upgrade to dynamic disks without data loss, but you cannot revert back without data loss.
