HDD issues

[fasterthanlight]

Okay, so I have a 250GB on a winXP machine that I used as a second drive for storage. I have 2 other machines that have Vista Premium. I plugged that 250GB into both Vista machines and Windows does not see this as a second drive. I have checked the bios for both machines and it sees it, Windows sees it as hardware, but I cannot get to this drive under My Computer. I never had this problem before, under XP. Is there something that I am missing?


I've just seen that this second disk is dynamic and I can't convert back to basic w/o losing all that info. XP is ok, but Vista can't handle this?

Dynamic?! ...using Premium?!

Note: Only Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows Vista Ultimate editions support dynamic disks.

...crap. LOL. I didn't know there was a difference in the OS being able to handle it.

You can thank MS for that. I miss having simply two versions of an OS.
