I it says that the Dynamic Disk is not valid in Disk Management, it suggests
that your pair of disks were part of a software RAID array with your
previous operating system. If they were not, it might just be an error, as
I can remember having something like that happen a few years ago. Can you
right click on the left box for the disk, at the lower part of the windows,
and make it come 'online'?

No, if I right click on the second drive I have only the option to convert
the disk and if I try, a message popup telling me if I do that I gonna loose

HI Joel,

I'm sorry, but Home Editions of Vista do not support the use of dynamic
disks.
