Dynamic disks go "boink"

When I replaced my M/B and reloaded Vista, 2 of my 4 HDD's (both dynamic) didn't come back up. I suspect it's the MBR on them, not too sure tho (obviously). I tried to "Reactivate disk", no dice.

Hi,

Was the replacement motherboard a direct equivelant to the original or an alternative?

Have you installed all the chipset drivers etc?

No, from Gigabyte to ASUS. All drivers loaded and current. The drives show up in the BIOS and on POST also.
