Hey guys I can really use some help with a big problem that I've encountered.

I have a sony vaio with a genuine vista home premium 32bit installed. I also had a non genuine vista ultimate 64bit installed on a partition. I wanted to create a partition of a partition and couldn't due to some message about dynamic drive. I tried to partition it on Ultimate and it worked. After I restarted, i received a similar error that others got when I googled:
=========================
Booting "Windows Vista"

acpi
Vista Loader 2.1.2

Done!
fallback 1
find --set-root /bootmgr

Error 17: File not found
Booting 'Windows NT/2000/XP'

fallback 2
find --set-root /ntldr

Error 17: File not found
Booting 'Enter Command Line'

Boot failed! Press any key to enter command line.
=======================================
Then it enters GRUB dos. I checked my hard drive partitions with the geometry (hd0,0) command and none of them seem to be NTSF. They show up as 0x42 and one is 0x27 which I'm guessing is the recovery partition.

My guess is that since the partitions are not NTSF, I can't boot windows. I tried to repair and nothing helped. I reinstalled vista on a partition and everything was fine until the setup completed.

It seems like all my files are there and the windows repair on the vista dvd recognizes that there are 2 OS installed. I can't run the recovery mode on the vaio laptop.



Please help me find a solution without having to lose any of my files.

What I think would help is if there is a way to change a dynamic disk to a basic disk without windows support and without losing data.

I tried a partition rescue disk by EASEUS and all it showed was one dynamic drive without any options for it.

Does anyone know how to change dynamic drives safely without OS support?
