XP Dynamic Disks To Vista unreadable

[produKtNZ]

Hi =\.

Right. I recently had trouble with my new pc that i built with winxp, endless troubles infact.
I had one dynamic disk that i installed about 3 years ago, and back then it was simply a experiment to see what Dynamic Disks was all about. Only the one harddrive was made dynamic.

I am now running Vistax64, and in the Disk Drive Management snapin, the drive is there, but on the lefthand block, it says "Disk 2. Dynamic. Invalid"
When i try to reactivate the disk i get the following msg

"This operation is not allowed on the invalid disk pack"

I tried 'recover my files.exe', but due to the disk being un-mountable i wasn't able to proceed any further.

Am i meandering down the right alley here?

Try a "Fast Format Recover" with Recover My Files.

In the drive selection window, do you see the "physical" drive listed?
