Yes I enabled the LBA and rebooted. I still had to revert the disk to
basic and from there I was given the chance to import a foreign setup.
After a good deal of head scratching and no solution from my best
friend, I accepted that and there was all my data. However in Disk
Management the drive now appears as Dynamic whereas the drive(0) is
Basic. A program I am now testing as a backup system does ignore
drive(1) totally.

I should therefore like to bring it back to basic so it is seen and
can be used from time to time for backups. Is there any way to go from
dynamic to basic and retain the data. Please
