My motherboard went bad, so I bought another one, reinstalled Windows 2000
w/SP4
I have two hard disk, one 80GB is for Win2k boot disk.
The other one is 300GB volume. (dynamic disk), after I installed the
Windows. I can't bring back my 300GB disk.
It said Foreign disk. I tried to right click and import foreign disk. No
luck.

My system configuration:
Mainboard: GA-7N400 PRO2
1GB memory
nVidia GeForce 64MB card
Boot disk 80GB (Basic)
Storage disk: 300GB (dynamic)

Any idea how to bring the dynamic disk back without loosing the data.

Thanks in advance.

I have Service Pack 4 loaded already.
Double check the registry for the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Atapi\
Parameters

it was enabled already.
Any utility that can help me to recover dynamic disk back ?
