I was fixing sombody's computer that had 4 hard drives (2scsi with it own controller card, 2 ide that was on the raid slot on the mobo) that all 4 drive were in a raid setup. all 4 drives only took up 50 gig (1 was a 40 gig seagate, the other 3 gigs). he bought a 80 gig for me to tranfer all of the date to, and he want to use the 40gig as the OS drive.
I hook the 80 gig to the ide0 slot by itself. I format it in comp management (big mistake as it formatted it as a dynamic disc). I copied all of his data to it. then I erase his 40 gig and reinstalled windows. now windows dont recognized the dynamic disc. He doesn't want to lose his important data.
how do I make windows see it or convert it to basic without losing data? I think it was also formatted as fat32
