this is the best thread i could find about my problem
my desktop comp.(OS XP Pro) crashed and now i need to access my external drive and im trying to do it through my laptop (OS Vista Home Basic)
disk management does detect it, but it can not import foriegn disk or even reactivate disk.
it seems that vista home can not do this from what i read so far.
but i do not want to lose any data on this external drive.
its a dynamic disk

not a basic disk
any hints to help
thanks
