Hard Drive Problem
Okay, so I have a 250GB on a winXP machine that I used as a second drive for storage. I have 2 other machines that have Vista Premium. I plugged that 250GB into both Vista machines and Windows does not see this as a second drive. I have checked the bios for both machines and it sees it, Windows sees it as hardware, but I cannot get to this drive under My Computer. I never had this problem before, under XP. Is there something that I am missing?


I've just seen that this second disk is dynamic and I can't convert back to basic w/o losing all that info. XP is ok, but Vista can't handle this?

Right click My Computer then click Manage.

Check in Disk Management about the status of your drives if it is Healthy or unrecognized.
