Post-installation problems with Vista - data recovery from hard disk




i recently installed Vista on a Pentium4 system that was runnig xP for quite a while. here is the problem and how it happened.

the system has two IDE disk drives, both on the same channel, one as primary and the other as secondary. before installing Vista, i made sure that any data i needed from the boot drive was backed up and copied to the second drive. i did a clean install of Vista on the boot drive, but what happened was that Vista made the secondary drive also as dynamic partitioned. now i need to recover the data from the secondary drive. when i examine the drive contents, the change i see is that the file system now shows up as dynamic partitioning.

any help, suggestions or pointers on how to reset the disk partitioning to make it readable, and thus recover data will be most appreicated.

thanks.
