XP says my scsi is unreadable

[markusr 0]

Good day,

 

I had a windows 2k system with an IDE for my C drive and a dynamic scsi as my D drive. I reformatted C and installed winxp professional. Now XP says (under disk management) that the SCSI is unreadable.

 

What can I do?

This is most likely due to the fact that the SCSI drive was formatted as a Dynamic Disk rather then the normal BASIC disk type.

 

I'm not sure if re-installing Win 2K and then using the Disk Management applet will allow you to reconvert back to a basic disk type or not. Since XP's disk managerment doesn't seem to see it properly, I take it that Microsoft changed how these operate under the two OS's...

If the Win2k-install works, then I would backup everything before trying to convert to basic-disk.

 

Don't know if this have any relevance (About importing disks-groups):
