How do I get the disk back to be readable or mountable as volumes?

I've tried to understand the KB 236086 but I'm stuck!
 
Hi,

That article is for a Win2000 system and does not apply to WinXP. What sort
of problem are you having?

I can find no evidence of differences between Dynamic Disks as
implemented in 2K and XP.

I had to do a clean install on my system disk (C:) to get XP work properly
after my two sons (5 & 6) deleted system files:(

The disk I'm trying to get back was converted to a dynamic disk (T:) but
when I got my computer up an running again the dynamic disk shows up as
"Unreadable" in Disk Management...

I've tried Acronis Recovery Expert (wich didn't find anything) and I've
looked at the Dskprobe.exe but I'm afraid I'll tamper with something beyond
my knowledge and loose the data on that disk for good...
 
I've fixed it:)
Used Dskprobe and accessed the disk and changed it from dynamic to basic:)
Rebooted and there it was! All my pictures and music recovered:)
 
Now, Backup what you don`t want to lose !!!
