Does this mean that I will have to install the hard drive back into the other PC? The other PC is actually in another city... |

| 508899 | 2006-12-24 23:13:00 | Yea I'm running XP Home so that must be the problem...I find it difficult to understand why I wouldn't be able to move a hard drive between two XP systems without having this sort of trouble. The way I see it, they downgraded XP Home? | JMoore (9352) | ||
| 508900 | 2006-12-25 20:40:00 | Well yeah, both may have XP, the diff is, One has Pro the other Home. Home doesn't have as many features as Pro. Not much we can do about it. If MS decided that Dynamic hdds only worked on Pro and not Home. And not much u can do about it, besides format it. |

It's going to be annoying but it's the only real way to get it back safely. Copy the data to something temporararily (another hard drive for example) and format it normally. |
