    Windows XP Dynamic Disk

    I've just upgraded to Windows XP from 2000 Pro. I've got a 200gb Sata drive that is formatted as a dynamic disk. Is there any way for me to read this disk in XP?

    Thanks

    Right button on My Computer and choose Manage!

    Inside there you need to click on Disc Management

    See the Microsoft Knowledgebase article 308424 for more information.

    I tried looking there, but there is no option to import the dynamic disk.

    Do you see the physical disc there?

    You may need to switch it back online!
