hmm i was using the WD harddrive test tool to check and rewrite both my 74gb raptors to make sure that they were ok.
I did the test that erasesd the data as i had nothing important on them.
So once done they came back error free, so i restarted XP
In my computer they were no longer showing up,,so i went into disk managment thinking that i just had to format them again.
now here is my problem , they will only allow me to format them as a dynamic disk.
what has happened and how can i fix them back to basic disks.:cool:
 
If you are using xp, admin tools, computer manager, right click on hd, then delete partition. Then go through the quick format thingy after you select the right option.

atm when i go into Disk managment the drives are Unallocated ( black ) with no partitions , and when i right click on them i only have properties & new volume, and when i select new voloume a pop up box automaticly appears which says :
Welcome to the new volume Wizzard.
This wizzard helps you create Volumes on Dynamic Disks

.........

I must be tired and missing something obvious, as never had this issue before.
