Thanks for the replay dave,
That's mainly the problem i am facing now.
I wonder if anybody know a way to get around it, without having me upgrade
my OS to Ultimate or business version.
Is there a way to copy the whole information from that dynamic drive to a
new hard drive that formatted w/ Vista ?
