HDD Problem
Hi all.

Picked up my new system today which has my 128GIG HDD I use just for storage.

It does not show uo in my computer but does show under computer management as a dynamic disk.

Im not sure why or what this is. I previously have had no problems with it.
Please help as the HDD has all my important files, downloads etc stored on it.

The only option it gives me is to 'convert back to basic disk' but this deletes all the files!

Info appreciated.

Thanks

(^^;?(Yes, as amoo's painful face is telling.)

Once it was recognized as such, there would be no restoring on XP. Because XP's disk management is very ditchy in the teeth of it magnificence. Use any recue disk, Knoppicus, PeBuilder etc.. Save the data and begin from scratch again.
