February 3, 200719 yr I have just gone through an update of my workstation, before it had XP installed, now it has Windows 2003 server and Vista Home Premium.the thing is now that the dynamic disks with spanned volumes on them I created in XP are no longer visible within Vista or 2003.The option to "import foreign disk" is not selectable.I am sure there must be a way of doing this.converting these volumes back to basic disks is not an option, the data must stay on there.help.update: i managed to make the dynamic disks visible in the server os, but vista still doesn't see them.the disk management console sees the disks are dynamic, but offline.then I tried to set them to online with diskpart, which says "error while onlining the objects in the pack associated with the selected disk".I think I'm close Edited February 3, 200719 yr by hoebeltje
February 3, 200719 yr Had the same problem. I dont think Vista Home Premium supports dynamic disks. You can see them but cant get them online. They seem ok in business and ultimate though.I had to put my dynamic disk into another XP machine, copy all the data off, convert to basic disk, reformat and copy all the data back again.
