Rudi1 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hi!I'am install windows vista just to see what is new in this version and I must say that already have a problem with one of my disk.Vista don't read this disk.I have only info that this disk i dynamic and when I right click on it and choose convert disk to basic the message appear that all data will be gone.Is it any way to convert or use this disk without deleting all data in it?

Rudi1 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 O.K!Looks like that dynamic disk is supported only in some version of vista.I can say too that vista works hand in hand to the "nsa" so some backdoor is hiden and they can scan your computer if they won't too,also is slow and almost nothing new compared XP.No Thanx,I will go back to XP,becouse I don't need this crap of new os!

phkninja Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 why do you say that vista works hand in hand with the NSA and not XP??Also even XP pro can have problems with Dynamic Disks, and its XP that creates them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi1 Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 National Security Agency/Central Security Service is work with microsoft in this oS,they say NSA is only help about security,but I don't think so!For shure microsoft left some hiden backdoors,so NSA and microsoft can look at your computer if they won't too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phkninja Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Simple solution, use truecrypt.Or in my case i have a 2048 bit personal encryption algo.BTW NSA can access Win XP anyway, they dont need the help of microsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1234 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 After a frustrating weekend trying to get my two dynamic drives working with Vista I finally figured it out:1. Vista only supports Dynamic drives in Business and Ultimate - not Home Premium. I upgraded from XP Pro to Home Premium. Try to find out where Microsoft tells you that Premium doesn't support dynamic drives - I couldn't. Microsoft wanted me to upgrade to Ultimate for an additional $ 169 . . . I didn't want to.2. It turns out that unless you are really using the features of dynamic drives you can easily switch them back to basic (so Vista can see them) without data loss. The instructions are right here (forget the ad):http://thelazyadmin.com/index.php?/archive...asic-Disks.htmlThe trick is to find diskprobe.exe. I took it out of the support cabinet on my old Windows 2000 disk. If you are running Vista you can not download it from Microsoft. Best bet is to pull it off an old windows disk.It worked perfectly and was really really simple. Be sure to 'run as administrator' when you run the software.I hope this saves everyone lots of time (and money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
