usurperr

Hi thanks for the reply so far but I have misread my disk management it turns out the drive was there all along unfortunately it is showing as a dynamic disk. This was my storage drive before I upgraded to vista and has all my data on it which I dont want to lose. I did a quick google search on converting back to basic and things dont look good. Can anyone help me with my options Is there a safe way to convert back to basic or can anyone suggest a better option.

thanks again
