Win2000 crashed boot drive

[mike]

Crashed boot drive i tried a recovery methood that i've
used with 98 but did not work with 2000 pro. I replaced
the bad drive with another drive and installed 2000 pro on
it but now i can't access the other drives in my computer
when i use the disk managment tool it shows that the
properties are type:dynamic status:foreign ??????.
I sure could use much help on this one.
Also note that the drives are on an ata 133 card, no raid
config. 2 120 gig and a 80 gig. Thanks in advance.

A dynamic disk will always show foreign when viewed from another OS.
Right click on it and choose import foreign disk. Then it will be
assigned a drive letter. BTW if you are not using software RAID do not
convert your drives to dynamic.
