C++ like vs C like casts?

Regular cast vs. static_cast vs. dynamic_cast
i've been using C-like casts since i've been programming:
class* initializedClassInstance;
void* test = (void*) initializedClassInstance;
and i've been told somewhere that i should get used to C++ casts (static_cast, dynamic_cast...).
Is there a reason to prefer one over the other (C++ over C style)? There is a difference between static cast and dynamic cast, right? But what is it?
Thanks!
C-style casts are unsafe.
C++-style casts behave in another way. static_cast will give you a compilation error if it can't make the cast. dynamic_cast on fail will cast to NULL if you are casting pointers, and throw an exception otherwise.
So this allows you to write a safer code.
Yes, there is. It give you checks. static_cast gives you compile time checks and dynamic_cast gives you runtime checks for example.
