I'm not quite sure where you're coming from here: are you asking how to convert a Windows parition from Basic disk to Puredisk? If that's the case, you're barking up the wrong tree- Puredisk is a separate product that installs on it's own OS for backups using dedupe and compression, not a type of Windows disk.
If you're talking about something else entirely, please elaborate.
****EDIT****
Oh- I get it. Little slow today- you want to upgrade a Netbackup basicdisk DS(S)U to a Puredisk DS(S)U.
Short answer- you can't. Puredisk is a separate product that is a member of the Netbackup family pretty much in name only. To use a Puredisk DS(S)U, you need to build a separate Puredisk server on it's own dedicated hardware, then create that as a storage unit in Netbackup. It has more in common with a DataDomain than it does with a normal basicdisk DS(S)U, both in terms of function and in terms of how Netbackup talks to it. That is not to say it's identical to a DataDomain- I just find it useful to group them together in terms of how Netbackup uses them.
