Hi, I got two HDD, and today I reinstalled my xp and formated the main HDD. Now when I boot I can't read the second HDD. Disc management says it is a dynamic disc, and it's asking me if I wanna convert it into a standard-disc. Is there any way to open my second HDD without deleting the data on it?

Was it part of a spanned volumn? I suggest you go to the Windows site and enter the search terms: Using dynamic disks. You could try using Knoppix. Knoppix is a distro of Linux that installs to and boots from one CDR disk. Google for Knoppix.
