W8, Import Foreign disk?

[ssmacc]

Hello,

I've just upgraded my HTPC and have installed Windows 8, I've got 4 hard drives and apparently one of them is dynamic and coursing me problems, I've found disk manager and can see the disk. If I right click I can either:

Convert the disk to basic (which I think will delete my data?)

or

Import Foreign disk (not sure what this will do)

Its an almost full 2TB drive and I don't want to lose the data, anyone know what I should do?

I've not had this problem with Windows 7 and the same drive in the past...

Thanks

Edit, just found this...and the data is save! Would mind how I change this going forward (so I don't get this again if anyone knows?

Solution: Add the disk to your computer's system configuration so that you can access data on the disk. To add a disk to your computer's system configuration, import the foreign disk (right-click the disk and then click Import Foreign Disks). Any existing volumes on the foreign disk become visible and accessible when you import the disk.
